Description
Abdel Rahman Al Manasra and eight co-authors track thirty years of bowel blockage causes in a 2025 study. A blocked intestine is a surgical emergency worldwide, and its causes were thought to differ between rich and poor nations.
The team combined recent cases from a Jordanian hospital with a review of studies from before and after 2000. Scar tissue from past surgery now causes 64 percent of cases in Jordan, up from 25 percent in 1993. Cancer came next at 20 percent. Deaths ran at 10 percent, mostly from sepsis. Worldwide, scar tissue now leads in both developed and developing nations, where hernias once ruled. More surgery and older populations explain the shift, the authors argue.
