Bowel Obstruction Surgery is performed to treat a blockage in the intestines that prevents food, liquids, and gas from passing through. The blockage can be caused by conditions such as adhesions, tumors, or Crohn’s disease, and the surgery may involve removing the obstructed part of the intestine or clearing the blockage.

In some cases, a minimally invasive approach using laparoscopy may be used to remove the obstruction or perform a bowel resection. For more severe blockages, open surgery may be required to remove a portion of the intestine or to treat complications like perforation or necrosis.

Postoperative care includes managing pain, reintroducing food and fluids gradually, and monitoring for infection or further obstructions. Patients are advised to follow a high-fiber diet and stay hydrated during recovery.

Bowel obstruction surgery offers effective relief for patients with intestinal blockages, improving digestion and preventing potentially life-threatening complications.
