An Observational Study for Comparing Outcome of Primary Anastomosis versus Stoma Creation in Case of Acute Intestinal Obstruction

Abstract

Background: In the emergency settings, when there is strangulated or obstructed intestine 
present, surgical therapy of acute intestinal obstruction may necessitate excision of the 
nonviable gut. To ensure a smooth recovery following a resection of the gut, the surgeon 
must decide between anastomosis of resected part and the construction of a stoma solely 
without anastomosis.
