Confusing question: Some are born with a defect in the migration of the intestine tube down to the outside skin.It is called an imperforate anus.For some it is a very low defect and simply cutting  open the skin fixes the problem.Some have a high defect and the intestine tube must be brought down and attached.

Question 9

how to cure intestinal obstruction?

Accepted Answer

NG tube or surgery: If intestinal obstruction is due to adhesions post surgery, an attempt to reverse the partial twist using a nasogastric tube is a first attempt to be used.  If the amount of ng drainage increases and gas does not pass per rectum, surgery is needed.
Here, removal of adhesion and untwisting of bowel can help.  Occassionally a side to side bypass has to be used.

Question 10

what is the definition or description of: obstruction?

Accepted Answer

Blockage: Anything that creates a blockage of the intestinal tract. You may think of the intestinal tract (stomach, small bowel, large bowel) as somewhat akin to a garden hose. If you kink the garden hose, or twist it, or block it inside, you have created an "obstruction". Most obstructions are a results of previous surgery and most of these resolve with non-operative management.
