Bowel folding

The purpose of intestinal fold surgery is to change the formation of disordered adhesions to adhesions that arrange the bowels in order to treat adhesive intestinal obstruction and prevent recurrence of intestinal obstruction. The function of intestinal fold surgery is to prevent the occurrence or recurrence of intestinal obstruction in 90% to 95% of patients with intestinal adhesions. However, the operation time of intestinal fold surgery is longer, the patient's burden is heavier, and the surgical mortality rate is higher. The indication must be carefully selected.
