Y1 - 2016 N1 - T2 - Anesthesiology Core Review: Part Two Advanced Exam AB - Intestinal obstruction accounts for 20% of surgical admissions. Conditions leading to intestinal obstruction are classified according to the relationship between the obstructing agent and the intestinal wall (Table 86-1). The obstruction can be extraluminal (surgical adhesions from prior surgery and neoplastic disease), intraluminal (strictures and abdominal ileus), intramural (inflammatory bowel disease, e.g., Crohn’s), complex (vascular causes, e.g., strangulation), or closed loop obstruction (e.g., volvulus, where both proximal and distal obstruction of the loop of bowel is present).
