Description
Summary:	In mechanical subocclusions, when there isn't immediate urgency, is it possible and necessary to probe radiologic examination, for a better surgical evaluation. The authors describe their own experience, achieved in about 3 years, on small bowel double contrast enema. They examined 143 patients; 16 of them were suboccluded. The security and the diagnostic reliability of used method are stressed by the authors to define lesions' morphology and localization.
