Dr. Martin Zielinski from the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, joins us on Rounds to discuss best practices in the management of bowel obstruction. In this episode, we review common etiologies for bowel obstruction, discuss the role of imaging, as well as the significance of clinical and radiographic findings on the likelihood of operative intervention. Dr. Zielinski also shares with us the Gastrografin swallow protocol that has been successfully developed and implemented at the Mayo Clinic in the management of patients with small bowel obstruction.
