What is incomplete intestinal obstruction

Intestinal obstruction refers to the failure of the intestinal contents to function normally and pass through the intestine smoothly for various reasons, and is one of the common acute surgical abdominal diseases. Incomplete intestinal obstruction, as the name implies, means that the intestine is not completely obstructed, and its symptoms are less severe than those of complete intestinal obstruction, and there is mostly no blood flow obstruction.

The causes of incomplete intestinal obstruction: intestinal blockage such as foreign body, stone, parasite, etc. can be caused; intestinal torsion, abdominal tumor, extra-abdominal hernia and other causes of intestinal tube compression; intestinal wall lesions; various causes of dynamic intestinal obstruction; blood transport disorders of the intestinal wall, etc. Symptoms of incomplete intestinal obstruction: (1) abdominal pain: paroxysmal periumbilical abdominal pain is the main cause. (3) Abdominal distension: the degree of abdominal distension is related to the degree of obstruction.

(4) Change of defecation and exhaustion: repeated small amount of defecation and exhaustion.

Treatment of incomplete intestinal obstruction: the obstruction should be released as soon as possible and the physiological disorder caused by the obstruction should be corrected. Conservative treatment is fasting, gastrointestinal decompression, prevention and control of infection and poisoning, enema and other measures to eliminate the cause of the disease, while giving supportive treatment. If the symptoms cannot be relieved by conservative treatment, surgery should be performed promptly.

Regardless of any form of intestinal obstruction, it is necessary to take the simplest method to remove the obstruction and restore the intestinal cavity smoothly in the shortest possible time, and it is recommended to seek medical treatment in time to avoid irreversible consequences of delay.
