ABSTRACT
On the basis of the results of treatment of 320 patients, the organization and sanitary-instructive measures aimed at prevention of getting, or development of the foreign bodies in the stomach and intestine are suggested. The primary prophylaxis (prevention of penetration of the substances which are alien to the organism into its cavities and tissues) and the secondary one (removal of the foreign bodies from the organism of a patient before their penetration into the intestine) are distinguished.

The authors discuss the results of their personal observations over patients with Crohn's disease (57 males and 88 females). Preoperative diagnosis of the disease is extremely difficult. A purposeful and carefully taken medical history, and dynamic observation may help in recognizing the disease. Appendectomy is indicated when the process occurs in the terminal ileum because the appendix is involved in the inflammatory process; resection of the stenosed segment is indicated in small intestinal obturation.
