The small bowel is the upper part of the intestines and the large bowel is the lower part.

Mechanical bowel obstruction. The blockage may be either partial or complete occurring at one or more locations. Mechanical small bowel obstruction may be due to a luminal mural or extra mural mechanical barrier. Either the small bowel or large bowel may be affected. A multitude of conditions cause functional bowel obstruction. Functional bowel obstruction or paralytic ileus is a temporary disturbance of peristalsis in the absence of mechanical obstruction. An intestinal obstruction is a potentially serious condition in which the intestines are blocked. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain vomiting bloating and not passing gas. It can happen at any point along the intestine tract but it is more common in the small bowel. Postoperative ileus is the most common cause of paralytic ileus which can also be caused by metabolic. Obstruction of the bowel may be due to. Both the small. A mechanical cause which means something is in the way ileus a condition in which the bowel does not work correctly but there is no structural problem causing it paralytic ileus also called pseudo obstruction is one of the major causes of intestinal obstruction in infants and children. When the bowel is blocked food and liquid cannot pass through. Small intestinal pseudo obstruction describes a clinical syndrome characterized by manifestations of mechanical small bowel obstruction in the absence of an obstructive lesion. Bowel obstruction also known as intestinal obstruction is a mechanical or functional obstruction of the intestines which prevents the normal movement of the products of digestion.

Bowel obstruction is the interruption of the normal passage of bowel contents either due to a functional decrease in peristalsis or mechanical obstruction.
