Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic surgery for patients with intestinal obstruction and to determine its value for broader clinical applications. Ninety patients with intestinal obstruction admitted between April 2020 and April 2021 were selected for this study. They were randomly assigned into two groups: the control group, comprising 45 patients treated with conventional open surgery, and the study group, comprising 45 patients treated with laparoscopic surgery. Various surgical parameters were summarized and analyzed to evaluate the treatment outcomes. The study group exhibited significantly better overall treatment outcomes compared to the control group. They showed improvements in operative time, blood loss, treatment costs, and incision length. Additionally, the incidence of postoperative complications was lower, and the overall effectiveness of the treatment was higher in the study group, with significant differences between the two groups (P<0.05). For surgical treatment of intestinal obstruction, the introduction of laparoscopic surgery can achieve positive results. It ensures the quality of the surgery, shortens the patient's hospital stay, and reduces the likelihood of complications. Thus, this surgical approach is worthy of wider adoption.
