Intestinal Obstruction Surgery in Andheri West

What is Intestinal Obstruction?

Intestinal obstruction is a blockage that prevents the normal movement of food, fluids, and gas through the digestive tract. It can affect the small intestine or large intestine and requires immediate medical attention.

Types of Intestinal Obstructions:

Small Bowel Obstruction (SBO): Blockages in the small intestine.
Colonic Obstruction: Blockages in the large intestine or colon.

Symptoms of Intestinal Obstruction

Common signs indicating an intestinal blockage include:

Abdominal Pain: Often severe and crampy.
Constipation: Difficulty passing stool or gas.
Vomiting: A common symptom of complete obstructions.
Bloating: Swelling due to trapped gas and fluids.

If you experience these symptoms, seek medical attention promptly to avoid complications like gangrene or perforation.

Causes of Intestinal Obstruction

The condition can result from various factors, such as:

Intestinal Adhesions: Scar tissue from previous surgeries.
Volvulus: Twisting of the intestine.
Tumors: Growths that block the digestive tract.
Hernias: Weaknesses in the abdominal wall causing bowel entrapment.
Ileus Paralytic: A condition where the intestine stops moving.

Understanding the cause is essential for determining the appropriate treatment.

At Curis Life, we use advanced diagnostic tools to confirm bowel obstructions:

CT Scan for Intestinal Blockage: Provides detailed imaging of the blockage.
X-Rays or Ultrasound: Identifies the location and severity of the obstruction.
Blood Tests: Detects infection or electrolyte imbalances.

In some cases, obstructions can be managed without surgery:

Decompression: A nasogastric tube removes trapped air and fluids.
Enemas: Helps relieve mild blockages.
