Approach to Pediatric Bowel Obstruction

In this Surgery 101 video episode, 4th year medical student Alessia Gallipoli provides an introduction to the broad differential diagnosis of bowel obstruction in pediatric patients.
After listening to this episode, you should be able to:
1. Describe the assessment of the child with intestinal obstruction
2. List the common causes of intestinal obstruction in the child
3. Develop an approach to narrowing down your diagnosis
