Generally speaking, intestinal obstruction does not require open-heart surgery, but can be treated through conservative treatment, laparoscopic treatment and other measures for patients. Generally speaking, the intestinal obstruction that requires open heart surgery is mainly divided into intestinal obstruction with intestinal necrosis, tumor intestinal obstruction, and intestinal obstruction with other treatment methods ineffective and critical condition.
1. Intestinal necrosis intestinal obstruction: it is mostly seen in mesenteric vascular thrombosis which leads to the loss of blood supply to part of the intestinal segment, resulting in intestinal necrosis and obstruction. In this case, open surgery is needed to remove the necrotic intestine and anastomose the broken end.
2. Tumor intestinal obstruction: usually caused by malignant tumors, patients are recommended to undergo laparotomy to remove the tumor infringing intestinal segments and clean up the surrounding lymph nodes.
3. Intestinal obstruction that cannot be treated by other methods is often in critical condition and requires open surgery to unblock the obstructed intestinal segment.
Open surgery is the last resort to treat intestinal obstruction. After diagnosis of intestinal obstruction, first consider conservative, laparoscopic and other methods of treatment.
