Abstract

Evaluating the clinical presentation of intestinal obstruction along with its pathological findings is crucial for accurate diagnosis and timely intervention. A total of 100 patients presenting with signs and symptoms of acute or subacute intestinal obstruction were included, and their detailed clinical histories, physical examinations, laboratory investigations, and radiological assessments were recorded. Intraoperative findings and histopathological results were correlated to identify the most common etiologies and to assess clinical outcomes. Follow-ups were done for at least six weeks post-discharge. A combined clinico-pathological approach is instrumental in effectively diagnosing and managing intestinal obstruction. Early detection, prompt surgical intervention when indicated, and appropriate postoperative care is essential to reduce morbidity and mortality.
