Background: Small bowel obstruction is a common surgical emergency and is a leading cause of admission in emergency department worldwide. The aim of this study is to evaluate various etiology and fatal complications of different surgical techniques in the management of small bowel obstruction. Subjects and Methods: A retrospective study of 95 patients >14 years of age suffering from small bowel obstruction admitted in the department of general surgery in a tertiary care hospital in eastern India was done. The study period was April 2016 to March 2018. Results: The various causes of small intestinal obstruction included adhesions (most common 34.8%) followed by intestinal tuberculosis (26.31%) and obstructed/strangulated hernia (23.15%). Adhesiolysis (34.7%) was the commonest operation done followed by resection anastomosis (23.15%) and ileostomy creation (15.7%). The commonest fatal post-operative complication observed was pulmonary complications (9.47%) with an overall mortality rate of 10.5%. Conclusion: Early diagnosis and timely intervention is the key in the surgical management of small bowel obstruction as delay may increase morbidity and mortality significantly.

Background:The small intestine is the longest and convoluted portion in the digestive tract. It starts from pylorus and ends at ileocaecal valve. The small bowel consists of three parts measuring about 5 to 6 meters. The rst 25cm is the duodenum. Out of the rest part of small gut, jejunum th th. constitute the proximal 2/5 and ileum distal 3/5 The jejunum and ileum extend from the peritoneal fold that supports the duodeno-jejunal junction (Ligament of Treitz) down to ileocaecal valve. Material and Methods:All the patients admitted to PMCH, Patna and KMC, Katihar as intestinal obstruction was included for the study. The time period of study was from October 2014 to November 2016 in PMCH and December 2016 to January 2019 in KMC, Katihar. Out of all Intestinal obstruction 59 cases only of adult small gut obstruction were recorded for comparison and conclusive study.Conclusion: Small bowel obstruction remains a frequently encountered problem in abdominal surgery. Although modern day surgical management continues to focus appropriately on avoiding delayed operation, whatever surgery is indicated, not every patient is always best served by immediate operation

Introduction: Ventral hernia is one of the common surgical conditions that can significantly impact a patient's quality of life (QoL). Open ventral hernia repair using the Rives-Stoppa (RS) and Transversus Abdominis Release (TAR) procedures has gained recognition for its effectiveness in achieving hernia repair and reducing the risk of further recurrence. However, limited research has been performed to explore the short-term outcomes and QoL assessment following these two surgical techniques. The aim of this study was to know the result after RS and TAR methods of hernia repair in terms of short-term recurrences, pain, postoperative complications, and QoL. Methods: This was a prospective, interventional study, which included 30 patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria. The study group was subjected to posterior component separation (PCS)-TAR and RS repair as per surgical indication (RS if defect size 4-10cm; PCS-TAR if defect size >10cm and
