The difference between intestinal obstruction and intestinal adhesions is mainly manifested in the following points: 1. From the perspective of disease onset, intestinal obstruction includes adhesive intestinal obstruction, strangulated intestinal obstruction and mechanical intestinal obstruction, while intestinal adhesions have no obvious symptoms in the majority of patients, and may cause intestinal obstruction only when the adhesions are severe. 2. In terms of the prognosis of the disease, if it is strangulated intestinal obstruction or mechanical intestinal obstruction, it is usually necessary to perform intestinal canal resection. If it is caused by malignant tumor, it is even necessary to perform radical intestinal cancer treatment and cooperate with postoperative chemotherapy or even radiotherapy. Intestinal adhesions occur after abdominal surgery, most of them are asymptomatic and do not require treatment. Even if intestinal adhesions cause adhesive intestinal obstruction, surgical treatment has a good prognosis and will not have a particularly great impact on the patient’s life.
