Diagnosis of acute small bowel obstruction The diagnosis of majority of cases of bowel obstruction can be made based on clinical presentation and initial plain radiograph of the abdomen. Luminal contrast studies, computed tomography (CT scan), and ultrasonography (US) are utilized in select cases.
ICD-10 code K56. 69 for Other intestinal obstruction is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the digestive system .
Introduction. Malignant bowel obstruction (MBO) is a frequent complication in patients with advanced cancer, especially of digestive or gynecological origin. Bowel obstruction is any mechanical or functional obstruction of the intestine that prevents physiological transit and digestion.
There are two types of small bowel obstruction: functional — there is no physical blockage, however, the bowels are not moving food through the digestive tract. mechanical — there is a blockage preventing the movement of food.

About bowel obstruction Bowel obstruction can happen when: cancer in the abdominal area (such as ovarian, bowel or stomach cancer) presses on the bowel. other cancers (such as lung or breast cancer) spread to the abdomen and press on the bowel.
Up to half of adults who develop a large bowel obstruction have colorectal (colon) cancer. A cancerous tumor causes the blockage. Other causes of bowel obstructions in adults include: Abdominal adhesions (scar tissue) from surgeries.
Small-bowel obstruction (SBO) is caused by a variety of pathologic processes. The most common cause of SBO in developed countries is intra-abdominal adhesions, accounting for approximately 65% to 75% of cases, followed by hernias, Crohn disease, malignancy, and volvulus.

Definition. A mechanical bowel obstruction is a partial or complete blockage in the intestine. It can happen at any point along the intestine tract but it is more common in the small bowel. The small bowel is the upper part of the intestines and the large bowel is the lower part.
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.

A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere.
The Table of Neoplasms should be used to identify the correct topography code. In a few cases, such as for malignant melanoma and certain neuroendocrine tumors, the morphology (histologic type) is included in the category and codes. Primary malignant neoplasms overlapping site boundaries.
For multiple neoplasms of the same site that are not contiguous, such as tumors in different quadrants of the same breast, codes for each site should be assigned. Malignant neoplasm of ectopic tissue. Malignant neoplasms of ectopic tissue are to be coded to the site mentioned, e.g., ectopic pancreatic malignant neoplasms are coded to pancreas, ...
