ABSTRACT

Our study scrutinizes the prowess of laparoscopic methods in tackling intestinal obstructions, gauging their scope for widespread application. It engaged 90 patients diagnosed from April 2020 to April 2021, randomly allocated into two factions. Forty-five patients encountered the rigors of traditional open surgery, while an equal number embraced the gentler touch of minimally invasive laparoscopic intervention. An examination of surgical metrics like operation span, blood loss, expense, and incision breadth was executed. The findings revealed that the laparoscopic faction outperformed on every front. They savored brisker surgeries, scantier blood loss, thriftier expenses, and trimmer incisions. Moreover, they boasted a substantially slimmer tally of postoperative complications and a robust enhancement in treatment efficacy (P<0.05). These revelations advocate that laparoscopic surgery not only sharpens surgical precision but also curtails hospital durations and trims down complication rates, endorsing it as a superior strategy for the surgical untangling of intestinal obstructions and advocating for its broader adoption in clinical practice.
