Intestinal obstruction
Dr nawin kumar
1. Dynamic- mechanical
obstruction
2. Adynamic- – Peristalsis –absent – Peristalsis -non-
propulsive form
Pathology
Proximal to obstruction– Altered mobility
– Distension
Distal to obstruction
– Normal peristalsis
– Absorption
Pathology
Proximal to obstruction – Altered mobility
– Distension
– Dilates
– flaccid
– Paralysis
• Exhaustion
• to prevent Viability
Distension
Gas– Swallowed air– Diffusion from blood– Products of digestion and bacterial activity– O2 & CO2 reabsorbed– Nitrogen 90% and H2S
Fluid– Digestive juice
– No absorption of food
• Electrolyte imbalance– Reduced intake– Defective intestinal absorption– Vomitintg– sequestration
• Distal to obstruction
– Normal peristalsis
– Absorption
– Empty and contracted
– immobile
• Veins compressed first - Edema
and hemorrhages
• Arterial compression –
Haemorrhagic infarction
• Translocation of bacteria, toxins
and systemic absorption
Strangulation External Internal
• Smaller absorptive surface
• Short segment – Less blood and fluid loss
• Larger absorptive surface
• Large segment – More blood and fluid loss - shock
Closed loop obstruction
• Obstruction both at proximal
and distal point
– Strangulated loops
– Colonic obstruction with a
competent ileocecal valve
Special types
• Internal hernia
• Entric stricture
• Bolus obstruction
• Adhesion and bands
• Intussusception
• volvulus
Clinical features
• Classical qurtet
1. Pain
2. Vomiting
3. Distension
4. Constipation
pain
• Colicky
• Mild constant diffuse
• severe
vomiting
• Proximal- more vomiting
• With time– Undigested food to faeculant
distension
• More distal- more distension
constipation
• Absolute
• Relative
• Absent in– Richter’s hernia– Gall stone obstruction– Mesentric vascular obstruction– obstruction with pelvic abscess– Partial obstruction- faecolith, neoplasm
Levels
• Small bowel obstruction– High– low
• Large bowel obstruction
Levels
• Small bowel obstruction- High– Early vomiting– Rapid dehydration– Minimal distension– X ray -fluid level ?
Levels
• Small bowel obstruction- low– Pain- prominent– Late vomiting– Central distension– X ray -fluid level - multiple
Levels
• Large bowel obstruction– Early distension, severe– Late vomiting, dehydration– Pain mild– X ray –caecum , ascending colon distended
Nature of presentation
• Acute- SB, sudden onset of pain• Chronic- LB, constipation,
distension• Acute on Chronic- recurrant• Subacute- constipation?
Other features
• Dehydration
• Hypokalemia
• Pyrexia –
Ischemia/perforation/Inflammatory obs.
• Hypothermia
• Abdominal tenderness
Type of presentation
• Simple – Intact blood supply
• Strangulated – Compromised blood supply
Signs of strangulation
• Continous pain
• Localised tenderness, rigidity,
rebound tenderness
• Shock
• Does not respond to conservative
management
Radiology
• X – ray abdomen ErectAir fluid levels
• X – ray abdomen SupineDistended bowel
Small bowel
• Central and transverse lie
• Jejunum – Valvulae conniventes
(concertina / Stack of coins)
• Ileum – Characterless
• Colon – Haustral folds
Treatment
• Gastrointestinal drainage
• Fluid and electrolyte replacement
• Relief of obstruction
Timing of surgery• Emergent
Obstructed/strangulated Ext hernia
Internal intestinal strangulation
Acute obstruction
• Other cases
Atleast within 24 hrs
• Adhesions
upto 72hrs
Principles of Surgical intervention
• Mt. of the segment at the site of
obstruction
• The distended proximal bowel
• Underlying cause of obstruction
assessment
• Site of obstruction
• Nature of obstruction
• Viability of gut
Site of obstruction
Caecum
Dilated Not dilated
Large bowel Small bowel
Trace distally Trace proximally
Nature of obstruction
Viability of bowelViable
Dark color – Light Dark persists
Mesentery bleeds on pricking
No bleeding
Peritoneum – Shiny Dull & Lustreless
Int Musc – Firm, Peristalsis seen
Flabby, thin, friable
Non viable
Mesenteric pulsation + Absent
Doubtful – Resected ends as stomas
No resection / Multiple ischaemic areas (Mesenteric Vasc Occlusion)
2nd look laparotomy after 24-48hrs
Surgical procedure
• Adhesiolysis
• Excision / Resection
• Bypass / Proximal decompression
Operative decompression
• Compromise of Exposure / Viability / Closure
• Septic complications of spillage
• Savage’s decompressor / NG tube
• Replace fluid
Large bowel obstruction
Caecum to Prox trans colon
– Rt. Hemicolectomy, if resectable
– Ileotransverse bypass if not
resectable
Splenic flexure
– Extended Rt.Hemicolectomy
Left colon / Rectosigmoid
• Decompression proximal colostomy
• Resection with – Anastamosis with covering colostomy– Paul Mikulicz procedure– Hartmann’s procedure

SPECIAL TYPES
• internal hernia• Enteric Stricture• Bolus obstruction
– Gallstone – Food– Bezoars
• Adhesion and bands• Intussusception• volvulus
INTERNAL HERNIA
• Internal hernia– Retroperitoneal fossa
• Duodenal fossa-– Left– right
• Caecal/appendicaeal fossa– Superior– Inferior– retrocaecal
• Intersigmoid fossa
– Congenital peritoneal defect• Foramen of winslow• Hole in mesentry, mesocolon, broad ligament
– Diaphragmatic hernia
• Duodenal fossa-
– Left– right
• Caecal/appendicaeal fossa
– Superior
• Caecal/appendicaeal fossa
– Inferior
• Retrocaecal fossa
intersigmoid
Foramen of winslow
• Release the constriction agent by division
• Donot-• Duodenal fossa-
• Foramen of winslow
• Hole in mesentry, mesocolon, broad ligament
• Decompress and reduce
Enteric Stricture
• Benign– TB– Chrohn’s
• Malignant– Lymphoma– Ca – sar

Adhesions
• Most common cause
• Difficult to differentiate from paralytic ileus

Peritoneal irritation

Adhesion between apposed surfaces
Early fibrinous adhesions Late fibrous adhesions
Prevention
• Good Surgical technique

• Minimizing contact with gauze
• Covering anastamosis & raw
peritoneal surfaces
Classification

• Late/ Dense
Bands

• Acquired
– Peritonitis
– Greater omentum adherent to
parietes
Treatment
• Conservative
– NPO

Surgery
• Adhesiolysis
– Only those causing obstruction

– Constriction sites
