Duodenal Obstruction

 Duodenal obstruction is a partial or complete obstruction of the small intestine, the first part of duodenum. Obstruction blocks the flow of food into the digestive system and interferes with metabolism and feeding. The duodenum is the first portion of the small intestine, stretching from the valve at the bottom of the stomach to the second part of the small intestine (jejunum), and controls emptying of the stomach (pylorus valve). It is a segment of the digestive tract which is brief yet also disturbing. In anticipation of digestion, the stomach, gallbladder, and pancreas empty each its contents into the duodenum. Latest research on endoscopic detection and treatment choices for early esophageal cancer is thus outlined in this study. Recently, Asia's authors have also shown that NBI is useful for detecting and characterizing superficial oesophageal squamous cell cancer (SCC) and may substitute chromoendoscopy in regular inspection as it is simple to use and adds a lot of details to traditional white light. Duodenal atresia, one of the causes of duodenal obstruction, affects one out of every 10,000 live births in the United States, and is observed in boys and girls respectively, and most commonly in premature delivery. Intestinal malrotation is a more prevalent occurrence that results in one in 500 live births, but just a limited proportion of such births are duodenal. The ratio between male and female in the first year of life is two to one, and then becomes equal.
