The device developed by the authors for determining the non-viability of strangulated section of the small intestine is applied in 25 patients with strangulated hernia of the anterior abdominal wall. The method is based on the principle of the frequency deviation of the quartz crystal oscillator due to intestinal peristal-sis, causing a change in the distance between the electrodes, therefore, and their capacity. In 14 patients with strangulated loop of intestine is recognized as unviable, which is confirmed by developed device and re-quired resection on the margin due according to specified device. When restoring the continuity of the intes-tinal tract, preference is given for "side to side" entero-enteroanastomosis. In the postoperative period three elderly patients died due to comorbidities. In all cases, the study of necrosis boundary of gut was made cor-rectly, making the postoperative period uncomplicated considering the abdominal cavity
