GIT obstruction

T he gastrointestinal tract can become obstructed at almost any point along its course, as shown in Figure 67-3. Some common causes of obstruction are (1) cancer, (2) fibrotic constriction resulting from ulceration or from peritoneal adhesions, (3) spasm of a segment of the gut, and (4) paralysis of a segment of the gut.
