This document discusses intestinal obstruction, including its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. It covers both dynamic and adynamic obstructions. Common causes of dynamic obstruction include adhesions, hernias, tumors, and gallstones blocking the intestines. Symptoms include pain, vomiting, distension, and constipation. Diagnosis involves physical exam, abdominal x-rays, and CT scans. Treatment depends on the cause but generally involves rehydration, draining the intestines, and surgically addressing the blockage or its underlying cause. More severe cases like strangulation or perforation require prompt surgery to prevent complications.
