Understanding Intestinal Obstruction โ When Surgery is Needed
Intestinal obstruction occurs when the small or large intestine becomes partially or completely blocked, preventing the normal flow of digested food, fluids, and gas. This serious condition requires immediate medical attention and often surgical intervention to prevent life-threatening complications.
Types of Intestinal Obstruction
Small Bowel Obstruction
The most common type, often caused by adhesions from previous surgeries, hernias, or inflammatory bowel disease. Dr. Bhavsar specializes in minimally invasive techniques to address small bowel obstructions while minimizing future adhesion formation.
Large Bowel Obstruction
Commonly caused by colorectal cancer, diverticulitis, or inflammatory conditions. Dr. Bhavsar's expertise in colorectal surgery ensures comprehensive treatment of underlying causes.
๐จ Emergency Signs Requiring Immediate Surgery:
- Severe, constant abdominal pain
- Persistent vomiting, especially if it contains bile or fecal matter
- Complete inability to pass gas or have a bowel movement
- Severe abdominal distension
- High fever with abdominal pain
- Signs of peritonitis (rigid, tender abdomen)
- Dehydration and electrolyte imbalance
- Bowel perforation signs
