Abstract
Background: Acute mechanical intestinal obstruction is relevant for surgical and forensic practice. However, in forensic literary sources, the structure of death from intestinal obstruction is not sufficiently covered.
Aims: Investigate the structure of mortality due to acute mechanical obstruction of the intestine according to the conclusion of forensic medical examinations for the period 2015–2019, generalize and highlight the peculiarities of sectional practice in this pathology compared to clinical data.
Results: The number of deaths from mechanical intestinal obstruction during the studied period of forensic practice was stable. The most common cases were deaths from acute mechanical intestinal obstruction caused by the impairment of various external ventral hernias or prior to the adhesion process in the abdominal cavity.
Conclusions: The structure of mortality from acute mechanical intestinal obstruction according to forensic expert practice differs from clinical data, where the adhesion form of mechanical obstruction prevails significantly.
