Abstract :

Adhesive intestinal obstruction is defined as an obstruction in forward propulsion of the contents of the intestine due to adhesions formed due to previous surgery /trauma / any inflammation. Intestinal obstruction is one of the most common surgical emergencies which should be diagnosed urgently and promptly treated to prevent complications. Success in treatment of patients with adhesive intestinal obstruction depends largely on early diagnosis, timely fluid resuscitation , skillful operative management, proper surgical technique and intensive postoperative treatment. Out of 134 intestinal obstruction cases admitted in SVRRGGH , 54 cases are due to adhesions (40%) leading to intestinal obstruction.Majority of patients with adhesive intestinal obstruction were presented within 5 yrs (64.4%)of previous surgery ,30–40 yrs age group (18%), pain abdomen(100%) as common symptom, high cases with history of laparatomy for peritonitis (35%) with male preponderance of 55.5% cases. In my study the most common cause of death was septicemia. Less tissue handling ,fast surgery& appropriate antibiotics needed to prevent future adhesions.
