In this lecture, Professor Zach Murphy will present on Bowel Obstruction. We will discuss the pathophysiology, highlighting the mechanical and functional causes leading to obstruction of the intestinal lumen, and their clinical implications. The session will transition to a digital presentation focused on the diagnostic approach, including clinical examination, laboratory tests, and imaging studies such as abdominal X-rays and CT scans. Finally, we will review the management strategies for Bowel Obstruction, emphasizing conservative management for partial obstructions and surgical interventions for complete obstructions or complications.
