Ileus – Pathophysiology, Clinical Presentation, and Management

This session provides a structured review of ileus, covering underlying pathophysiology and common precipitating factors. Clinical presentation, diagnostic approach, and differentiation from mechanical obstruction are discussed. Management strategies—including supportive care, correction of reversible causes, and indications for escalation—are emphasized for practical decision-making.

Following the lecture, we held a quiz to reinforce the key concepts, awarded prizes to the top-performing students, and concluded with an interactive Q&A session.
