Abstract:
The study involved 165 patients who have postoperative occlusion, including 91 males, 69 females with age ranged from 5 months to 80 years. The results showed that intestinal occlusion is most likely to be seen after operation for appendicitis, gastro-duodenal perforation and abdominal injury. Surgery for occlusion is performed if conservative treatments (gastric aspiration, fluid infusion and antibiotics) were failure. There were 8 deaths in this series.
