Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to debate, based on medical literature review, the chronic intestinal pseudoobstruction syndrome in adults, from the surgical point of view. The beginning of the paper emphasizes the difficulties in pseudoobstruction syndrome definition and etiology, and then we discuss the importance of intestinal histological assessment (whenever it is possible) and intestinal structure modifications. A very important part of this paper is reserved to the diagnostic difficulties, especially to those between intestinal pseudoobstruction syndrome and mechanical intestinal obstructive syndrome (similar etiologic circumstances, similar clinical and radiological manifestations). Finally, this paper debates the therapeutic difficulties, emphasizing the importance of surgical methods and techniques useful in treatment of the patient with chronic intestinal pseudoobstruction syndrome.
