Abstract

To assess conservative management in management of subacute intestinal obstruction. Fifty‐four patients of subacute intestinal obstruction of both genders were recorded. Parameters such as symptoms, signs, etiology, conservative management was recorded. USG abdomen and CT abdomen were done to detect the cause of obstruction. Out of 54 patients, males were 30 (55.5%) and females were 24 (44.4%). Symptoms recorded were pain abdomen in 45, vomiting in 42, constipation in 54 and abdominal distension in 50. Signs were tenderness over abdomen in 34, mass per abdomen in 23, palpable/visible bowel loops in 35, exaggerated bowel sounds in 50 and presence of surgical scar over abdomen in 11 cases. Etiology was paralytic ileus in 7 cases, post‐operative adhesions in 10, obstructed hernias in 6, sigmoid volvulus in 4, pancreatitis in 22 and blunt trauma abdomen in 5 patients. Surgical intervention was required in 6 cases. Adhesiolysis was performed in 2, herniorrhaphy in 1, sigmoidopexy in 1 and resection and anastomosis in 2 cases. The difference was significant (p<0.05). Subacute intestinal obstruction can be managed successfully by conservative management. Factors prompting surgery depends upon individual cases and the cause of obstruction.
