Amit Anand, Alin Kumar Nayak, Nirmalya Nirbisank

Abstract


Background Bowel obstruction remains one of the most common intra-abdominal problems faced by general surgeons in their practice whether caused by hernia, neoplasm, adhesions or related to biochemical disturbance. Small or large bowel continues to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality to identify and analyse the clinical presentation, management and outcome of the patients with acute intestinal obstruction. The objectives are to study the various mode of presentation, various causes, influence of various factor like age, sex, diet and socioeconomic status in the pathogenesis of intestinal obstruction, morbidity and mortality rates in acute intestinal obstruction.

Materials and Methods Clinical study of intestinal obstruction were collected from case admitted to various surgical wards in Hi-Tech Medical College and Hospitals, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India, during the period from August 2013 to September 2015.

Results The study was conducted on 50 cases who were admitted in Hi-Tech Medical College with features of intestinal obstruction.
