Abstract:
Though the diagnosis of intestinal obstruction is simple, the identification of the underlying cause may not be that simple. At times the underlying cause may become evident only during laparotomy. There is a high risk of morbidity and mortality linked with the condition, making early diagnosis and management crucial. The management may be conservative or surgical based on cause and requires adequate fluid and electrolyte resuscitation. Hence, we analyzed the various aetiological factors and management techniques of intestinal obstruction in a tertiary care center.
