| Surgery | 27/33 (81.81) | 1/1 (100) | 26/32 (81.25) | 0.212 |
ACPO-NT: acute colonic pseudo-obstruction without obvious thickening of the colonic gut wall; ACPO-T: acute colonic pseudo-obstruction with obvious acute thickening of the colonic gut wall.
All values are expressed as effective/total (efficacy %).
