Journal Title: International Journal of Biomedical Research - Year 2015, Vol 6, Issue 9
Abstract
Introduction: Large bowel Obstruction is a widespread, emergent condition, which requires early identification, meticulous work up and prompt surgical intervention, wherever indicated. Materials and Methods: 25 consecutive patients of all age groups (excluding pediatric age group) presenting with large bowel obstruction, who had been admitted in Dhiraj Hospital, between May 2010 to September 2013, were selected randomly. Results and Discussion: Present study revealed highest number of cases of large bowel obstruction occurring in age-group 51-60 years (9 years- 36%). In our study, no significant difference had been noted with respect to age & sex related incidence and distribution of large bowel obstruction. In this study, colorectal malignancy was found to be the biggest contributors of large bowel obstruction with nearly half the cases attributed to it (13 cases- 52%).
