Abstract:
There were 144 cases of post operative intestinal obstruction at Thai Binh General Hospital from 1994 to 1995. 96 cases were divided in operative group; 48 cases in the group without operation. The rate of post operative intestinal obstruction attained 23.4% of all cases of mechanical obstruction, i.e at 2nd rank following the obstruction caused by round worm. Preserving intestinal therapy was 31.9% for post operative intestinal obstruction, mortality 2.7% (4/144 cases) i.e twofolds versus mechanical obstruction cases 1.3% (8/614 cases). The majority of early post operative intestinal obstruction needed an operation (9/11 cases). The incidence of intestinal necrosis complications of post operative intestinal obstruction accounted for 11.8% (11/144 cases). More than a half of causes was the adhesion of intestinal on the scar of previous operation on the wall of abdomen (58.3%).
