pregnancy complicated with intestinal obstruction

Intestinal obstruction during pregnancy is a serious complication for both the mother and fetus. Intestinal obstruction can not only cause anatomical and functional changes in the intestinal wall itself, but can also lead to systemic physiological disturbances. Due to uterine enlargement during pregnancy, the differential diagnosis of intestinal obstruction during pregnancy is somewhat difficult. Coupled with concerns from both medical staff and patients regarding radiation examination, anesthesia, and surgery, diagnosis and surgical intervention are often delayed, leading to increased maternal and perinatal mortality.
