Abstract

Introduction: In Cuba, mechanical intestinal obstruction is one of the most frequent causes of acute abdomen, and is the second cause of emergency surgery.
Objective: To characterize a series of patients undergoing surgery with a diagnosis of mechanical intestinal obstruction.
Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive observational study was carried out in the population treated during the year 2022 in the general surgery service of the "Miguel Enríquez" Clinical-Surgical Teaching Hospital. The population was made up of 81 patients with whom we worked in its entirety. The variables sex, age, personal pathological history, toxic habits, hospital stay, cause of intestinal obstruction, complications, and status at discharge were studied. A study of absolute and relative frequencies was carried out.
Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive observational study was carried out on subjects treated during 2022 in the general surgery service of the "Miguel Enríquez" Clinical-Surgical Teaching Hospital. 81 patients were studied; The variables sex, age, personal pathological history, toxic habits, hospital stay, cause of intestinal obstruction, complications and status at discharge were collected. Frequency analysis was performed.
Results: There was a higher percentage of females (50.6%), aged between 31 and 40 years (23.5%), patients with high blood pressure (14.8%) and smokers (18.5%). The most common cause of occlusion was flanges and adhesions (44.4%), and the most common complication was bronchopneumonia (8%). Only 3.7% of patients died.
Conclusions: The patients are characterized by being between the third and fourth decades of life, with a predominance of the female sex, with a health history, without toxic habits, with a hospital stay between 1 and 5 days, presence of flanges and adhesions as a cause of obstruction and low frequency of complications and deaths.
