Intestinal obstruction is the partial or total blockage of the passage of the gastrointestinal system fluid . Intestinal obstruction is one of the main causes of emergent abdominal operations and the mortality and the morbidity of the condition could be high if not treated properly. Intestinal obstructions can be classified as mechanical intestinal obstructions, paralytic ileus and intestinal pseudo-obstructions. The characteristic signs and the symptoms of intestinal obstruction are abdominal pain, distension, obstipation and vomiting. Hemodynamic stability is the main principle of the treatment. Oral feeding should be stopped. Nazogastric decompression and fluid resuscitation are the other important steps of treatment. Early surgery is generally necessary for the treatment of mechanical intestinal obstructions; but paralytic ileus and intestinal pseudo-obstruction generally can not be treated by surgery.Keywords: İntestinal obstruction, diagnosis, treatmentTurkiye Klinikleri J Surg Med Sci 2006, 2(15):51-63
