560.9ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Code 560.9 : Unspecified intestinal obstruction.
A small bowel obstruction is a blockage in the small intestine. Small bowel obstructions are usually caused by scar tissue, hernia, or cancer. In the United States, most obstructions occur as a result of prior surgeries. The bowel often forms bands of scar (called adhesions) after being handled during an operation.
The bowel is part of the digestive system. It is made up of the small bowel (small intestine) and the large bowel (colon and rectum). The small bowel is longer than the large bowel but it gets its name from the fact it is much narrower than the large bowel.
Similarly, the ICD-10-CM alphabetic index under the main term “ileus” has a subterm or essential modifier “postoperative” and points to code K91. 89 with a description of “other postprocedural complication and disorders of the digestive system” and a “use additional code” note.
Postoperative paralytic ileus refers to obstipation and intolerance of oral intake due to nonmechanical factors that disrupt the normal coordinated propulsive motor activity of the gastrointestinal tract following abdominal or nonabdominal surgery [1-3].
However, closed loop obstructions are characterized by their complete nature and high morbidity and risk of death in case of delayed surgery [2]. In the colon, ischemic complications only occur on volvulus.
An obstruction in which two points along the course of a bowel are obstructed at a single location thus forming a closed loop. Patients present clinically with signs of obstruction: abdominal pain, nausea/vomiting, abdominal distension.
Your small intestine, which is also called the small bowel, is a long tube that carries digested food between your stomach and your large intestine (colon). The small intestine is responsible for digesting and absorbing nutrients from the foods you eat. It produces hormones that help with digestion.
