The risk of surgery for intestinal obstruction depends on the severity of the patient’s condition and the patient’s own physical condition. Patients with milder condition and better physical condition have less risk of surgery; patients with more serious condition and worse physical condition have higher risk of surgery.
Patients with serious condition of intestinal obstruction, accompanied by intestinal necrosis, even gangrene, etc. have higher risk of surgery, and patients are prone to surgical complications, such as hemorrhage, serious infection, etc., which may threaten the life safety of the patients, and the risk of surgery is higher. The risk of surgical complications in patients with milder condition is much lower, and the risk of surgery is reduced accordingly.
And for the young, physical strength, no underlying disease patients, resistance to surgical blows is stronger, the risk of surgery is also smaller; but for the older, combined with hypertension, diabetes and other diseases, the immune function of patients with severe low surgical risk is greater.
Any surgery carries some risk, but the patient will also have some benefit. It is recommended that patients with intestinal obstruction should go to the hospital in time and choose the appropriate treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
