title: [Early postoperative occlusion].
abstract: Early postoperative occlusion is an occlusive syndrome which either occurs immediately after operation or is delayed for a few days. It may result from many causes, with the four most common being a mechanical obstacle, inflammatory bowel occlusion, vascular ileus, and metabolic ileus. Each of these causes results in specific clinical features, but circumstances at onset are the most important distinctive criteria. Reoperation, which is viewed with anxiety by both the patient and surgeon, is not always requisite, although in some instances an emergency surgical procedure is needed.
