Abstract:
The authors propose an individual decision on the character of treatment: strangulated intestinal obstruction should be operated immediately after making the diagnosis; treatment of adhesive intestinal obstruction should be started with conservative methods. Successful treatment, depending on the anamnesis and state of the patient, allows planned total enterolysis or conservative treatment of the peritoneal commissures. If the conservative treatment is not a success, the patients should be operated after normalization of homeostasis, and better in day time. Laparoscopic adhesiolysis in such category of patients is not indicated.

Intestinal obstruction is a partial or complete blockage of the small or large intestine that disrupts the normal flow of intestinal contents through the lumen. This interruption impairs digestion, absorption, and fluid balance, and may lead to serious complications if not treated promptly.Mechanical ObstructionMechanical obstruction occurs when a physical blockage prevents intestinal contents from passing, arising from within the lumen or the bowel wall, or from external compression.Adhesions,...
