    Paediatric Intestinal Obstruction

    This topic covers the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and initial management of intestinal obstruction in infants and children, a common paediatric surgical emergency in Zambia. Medical students and surgical trainees will learn the key symptoms and signs: bilious vomiting, abdominal distension, and failure to pass meconium/stools. The module differentiates between high and low intestinal obstructions, outlines common congenital causes (malrotation with volvulus, intestinal atresias, Hirschsprung's disease) and acquired causes (intussusception, incarcerated hernia), and details the essential diagnostic workup including abdominal X-rays and contrast studies. Understanding the urgency of diagnosis, particularly for conditions like malrotation with volvulus which can lead to catastrophic bowel necrosis, is crucial for surgical rotations, professional examinations, and for appropriate and timely referral in clinical practice.
