ABSTRACT

A descriptive and observational study of transversal type was carried out in 93 patients with the objective of characterize the morbidity and mortality in patients operated on mechanical intestinal occlusion in the general surgery service at the Teaching Clinical-Surgical Hospital «Cmdte. Manuel Fajardo Rivero», of Santa Clara, Villa Clara, from October, 2009 to September, 2013. The most frequent symptoms and signs at the moment of admission were: colicky abdominal pain (96 %), nausea and vomiting (87,1 %) and abdominal distention(84,9%). Post-surgical bridles were the most frequent causes of occlusions (46,2 %),followed by colon neoplasms and blocked inguinal hernia with a 10,7 % y 9,6 %, respectively. Early detection of the disease, the clinical and surgical care of these patients and the relationship between primary and secondary care, favor an early admission and guarantee them an excellent care, as well as, reduce length hospital stay.
