Abstract
Background:The small intestine is the longest and convoluted portion in the digestive tract. It starts from pylorus and ends at ileocaecal valve. The
small bowel consists of three parts measuring about 5 to 6 meters. The rst 25cm is the duodenum. Out of the rest part of small gut, jejunum
th th. constitute the proximal 2/5 and ileum distal 3/5 The jejunum and ileum extend from the peritoneal fold that supports the duodeno-jejunal junction
(Ligament of Treitz) down to ileocaecal valve.
Material and Methods:All the patients admitted to PMCH, Patna and KMC, Katihar as intestinal obstruction was included for the study. The time
period of study was from October 2014 to November 2016 in PMCH and December 2016 to January 2019 in KMC, Katihar. Out of all Intestinal
obstruction 59 cases only of adult small gut obstruction were recorded for comparison and conclusive study.Conclusion: Small bowel obstruction
remains a frequently encountered problem in abdominal surgery. Although modern day surgical management continues to focus appropriately on
avoiding delayed operation, whatever surgery is indicated, not every patient is always best served by immediate operation
