How to operate for intestinal obstruction

The surgical treatment of intestinal obstruction needs to be tailored to the cause of intestinal obstruction. Intestinal obstruction mainly includes paralytic intestinal obstruction, mechanical intestinal obstruction and cancerous intestinal obstruction caused by tumors, and also benign intestinal torsion can lead to intestinal obstruction. For intestinal inability to pass or intestinal torsion caused by adhesion band compression, dissection is required, and the surgical procedure of dissection is to release intestinal adhesions, reset intestinal torsion, and decide whether fistula is needed according to the intestinal blood flow, and if fistula is not needed, intestinal alignment can be performed. Because more patients with intestinal obstruction have re-infarction and re-adhesion in a short period of time, the surgery requires intestinal alignment to avoid intestinal obstruction. Currently, the newer endoscopes are endoscopic, using gastrointestinal endoscopes such as gastroscopy and duodenoscopy to reach further down to the site of obstruction and place a gastrointestinal decompression tube for intestinal decompression. Alternatively, a stent can be placed to artificially keep the bowel open temporarily and buy time for surgery to release the intestinal edema.
