Intestinal Obstruction

Intestinal obstruction from adhesions, hernias, or tumors requires timely surgical intervention to prevent bowel ischemia. At Apollo Clinic in Bangalore, Dr. Adarsh performs laparoscopic adhesiolysis and bowel resection when necessary, using minimally invasive techniques to reduce post-operative adhesion formation.

Intestinal obstruction surgery addresses mechanical blockage of the small or large intestine. Common causes include adhesions from previous surgery, hernias, tumors, and volvulus.
