Intestinal Obstruction Congenital

Intestinal obstruction Congenital (koalfatise)

Intestinal obstruction is a critical disorder associated with impaired movement of chyme through the digestive canal. The condition is accompanied by unpleasant symptoms. The diagnosis is made based on examination. Treatment is conservative or surgical. Obstruction can be temporary or permanent, as well as congenital and acquired.

Obstruction is caused by mechanical compression of the intestinal cavities by the contents of chyme or distension of the intestine by gases when it is impossible to perform a normal act of defecation. This is due to intestinal spasm, obstruction of the intestine by a thick fecal stone or its filling with contents, gangrene of the intestinal wall, infiltration of the intestinal wall with tissue (for example, with intussusception).

Sigmoid colon obstruction Congenital rectal atresia is a rare hereditary disease. Parts of the esophagus, rectum and intestines are missing. The intestine is lined with intestinal epithelium, and the stomach contains gastric glands. There is no hepatitis, less often - the gallbladder, uterus, bladder and urinary tract. The appendix may be present. Less often than other atresias, the retroperitoneum and skin form pleural membranes at the distal end of the atresia. Sometimes the atresa can be localized above the entrance to the small pelvis, sometimes higher and not have any connection with the colon. They are involved in surgical treatment immediately, because disruption of the natural movement of food through the lumen of the organ allows bacteria to penetrate into the volvulus, causing septic peritonitis. Sepsis and death are possible. An operation to eliminate congenital rectal atresia is feasible only if the intestinal segment separating the atresia and the anterior abdominal wall is small. If the pelvic cavity is blocked by a valve connecting it to the perineum, surgeons resort to the rarely used method of ligating the terminal portion of the spiral artery and anastomosis between the appendix and the cecum. Left without surgical correction, sigmoid atresia can lead to mechanical obstruction of the tract, and sometimes to its disintegration. The surgical method of treatment is based on the removal of the underdeveloped end of the sigmoid or rectum through the isch
