Introduction Bowel obstruction (BO) is a common surgical emergency that occurs when the normal passage of intestinal contents is partially or completely blocked. This obstruction can result from mechanical or functional causes affecting the small or large intestines. Typical symptoms include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, constipation progressing to obstipation and abdominal distension, often prompting urgent diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.
