Intestinal resection

If an affected area of necrosis is found in the patient's gastrointestinal tract, surgical intervention is prescribed. The cause for resection can be:

• Obstruction that cannot be cured medically.
• A neoplasm.
• Large ulcer.
• Injuries to the intestines.
• Disorders of blood circulation.
• Tissue death caused by the ingestion of a foreign body.
