title: [Can diet prevent the reoccurrence of an intestinal obstruction?].
abstract: Mechanical obstructions are mainly linked to old age which can favour constipation and faecal impaction, to abdominal surgery, to chronic inflammatory diseases of the intestine or to digestive tract malignant tumours. In addition to monitoring the patient and ensuring their compliance with prescribed treatments, educating the patient with the aim of restoring a good nutritional status is essential.
