[Unwanted sequelae of irradiation in the intestinal tract--pathogenesis, diagnosis, therapy]
Abstract
The therapy of irradiation sequelae in the intestinal tract is still problematic. Within the period from 1967-1984 285 patients have been treated for late radiation injuries of the intestine. Our experiences are demonstrated and discussed with reference to the literature. Specific topics are: pathogenesis, clinical problems and aspects of conservative and operative treatment.
