Abstract
In recent years, with the growth of the population, the number and scope of various operations in the abdominal organs are increasing, which in turn is progressing in the number of patients with various types of acute intestinal obstruction (AIO). It is adhesive disease that is the main cause of intestinal obstruction in developed countries, and in developing countries, the proportion of AIO is approximately on the same level as strangulated hernia in the structure of the etiology of this disease [1, 2, 14].
The main causes of AIO (more than 90% of cases) are adhesions, ventral hernias and neoplasms [13]. In particular, up to 70% of cases of small bowel AIO occur with adhesions [11], and can also develop with hernias and tumors of the abdominal organs [5]. The cause of colonic obstruction in up to 60% of cases is obstruction of the intestine by a neoplasm [6], in 30% of cases - intestinal volvulus and diverticulosis, as well as other pathologies of the abdominal cavity [9, 11, 13].
