description AIM: Six children with adhesive obstruction in the postoperative period were treated with stenting the small bowel with long intestinal tube. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In two children the stenting was done through jejunostomy, and in the other four through the base of appendix. RESULTS: During a follow-up period of 2-14 years, there had been no recurrence. CONCLUSIONS: Use of an intraluminal tube stent in preventing recurrent small bowel obstruction due to adhesions is safe and effective when used on appropriately selected patients.
