Acute blockage of the intestine is among the most frequent surgical emergencies. Over several decades, its aetiology evolved. The aim of the study is to estimate the risk of bowel strangulation and to evaluate the health quality - life of patients after the operative. A study was conducted on 120 patients with acute intestinal obstruction who underwent surgery in different hospitals in Iraq during the period from March 2023 to September 2024. This study recorded the clinical and demographic outcomes of the patients as well as the prediction of intestinal strangulation. This findings shown patients with ages (31 - 40) years were the most prevalent in the total patients, which include 40%, males was 65%, and females were 35%, abdominal pain was the symptoms which enrolled the most rate of patients, which got 90%, adhesion was the factor which prevalence into patients with 45%, laparotomy surgery time was 4.2 ± 0.3 hours, blood loss was 850.3 ± 46.38 mL, duration of hospital was 9.24 ± 2.68 days, rate of complications was 40%, and the most factor was wound infection with 11.67%. According to our research, the most frequent reasons of obstruction in the large and small intestines, respectively, were malignant tumors and adhesions, which might have fatal or seriously life-threatening effects.
