Overview
Blind loop syndrome is a medical condition that occurs when the intestine is obstructed, slowing or stopping the progress of digested food, and thus facilitating the growth of bacteria to the point that problems in nutrient absorption occur.
Patient's can be treated with both medical therapy or surgery depending on the cause.
Surgery
If the cause of the blind loop syndrome warrants surgery, surgery is performed to relieve the obstruction. Sometimes,if antibiotics don't work, surgery is done to help the flow of food through the intestine.
If patients undergo surgery, the prognosis is usually very good.[1]
