Abstract

Short note on surgical case report

Author(s): Borayek Saad*

Intestinal obstruction is a common surgical emergency with diverse etiologies. This case report details the clinical presentation, diagnostic workup, and management of a 68-year-old male presenting with acute intestinal obstruction due to adhesive bands. Prompt recognition through clinical evaluation and imaging facilitated timely surgical intervention. Operative findings revealed dense adhesions causing bowel strangulation, necessitating segmental resection. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, with resolution of symptoms and return of bowel function. This case underscores the significance of early intervention and highlights the challenges encountered in the surgical management of intestinal obstruction, advocating for a multidisciplinary approach for optimal patient care.
