Abstract
In adult surgical procedures, small bowel obstruction (SBO) is normal, largely due to postoperative adhesion. Acute SBO is less frequent and has distinct etiologies in people without a history of abdominal surgery, trauma, or clinical hernia. Congenital bands are an extraordinarily unusual cause. Aim of the study is to study the clinical presentation of intestinal obstruction in adult population. The case series of small intestinal obstruction in adult is the cross sectional study. The present paper was performed on all minor intestinal obstruction cases within the surgery department, Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS), Karad. The present study concluded that 18-30 years is the age group and the male sex is most prominent for acute small intestine obstruction. The most popular clinical presentation is stomach pain, distension, tenderness.
