Resolution of Bowel Obstruction
Conditions
Brief summary
Bowel ultrasound may serve as a diagnostic tool to detect the resolution of bowel obstruction. In this study, we aim to validate the use of bowel ultrasound to evaluate patients with colon obstruction receiving colonic stents at National Taiwan University Hospital from January 2010 to June 2023. We will investigate the association between decompression of the ascending colon and the following surgical procedure, complication, and occurrence of bacteremia.
