Background: Acute intestinal obstruction is one of the most common surgical emergencies. There are many causes of acute intestinal obstruction like bands and adhesions, neoplasms, strictures etc. Aims and Objectives: In this study we have tried to find out common clinical presentation, aetiology and treatment of acute intestinal obstruction. Materials and Methods: This is a prospective study conducted at department of General Surgery, Dr. Vasantrao Pawar Medical College, Hospital and Research Centre, Nashik, Maharashtra in which we have studied 45 cases of acute intestinal obstruction to find out the clinical presentation, aetiology and treatment of acute intestinal obstruction. Conclusions: Acute intestinal obstruction is more common in females than in males. Small intestinal obstruction is more common than large intestinal obstruction. The commonest cause of intestinal obstruction is adhesions. The next most common cause is Tubercular stricture. Malignancy is most common cause of large intestinal obstruction. Most of the patients having large bowel obstruction required laparotomy.Downloads
