Various things can cause a blockage of the bowel. You could have stricture formation, which is a scar tissue band that grows around the path of the organ - restricting the flow of material. Hernias are a common cause of bowel blockage as a part of the intestine protrudes beyond the abdominal wall, pinching the intestine shut. Tumors and other masses also cause bowel obstructions. There could also be intestine twisting, which is a phenomenon with many causes but the obstruction is caused by the intestine being improperly twisted shut. I'm sure there are a lot more reasons for bowel obstruction that I cannot think of right now.
