years and around 27 % of the patients were 60 years or older .

Conclusions: Obstructed external hernia was the main cause of mechanical intestinal obstruction in our community.
Inguinal hernia exceeds paraumblical hernia in adult age group, while volvulus was more common in children.Objectives: To identify the main etiology of mechanical intestinal obstruction at Ibn Sina Teaching Central Hospital (ITCH) in Al-Mukalla city, Hadramout, Yemen and to clarify the symptomatology in relation to age group and gender.
