Surgery for intestinal blockage and the doctor stated gangrene- could u explain surgery procedures please ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Internal scar tissue inside the abdomen can cause an intestinal blockage. If a segment if intestine twists around the scar tissue sometimes that segment of intestine can die & become gangrenous. That bad segment of intestine would be removed & the good intestines reconnected.
