You never obstruct the airway ...you intubate to keep it open and oxygenate the lungs because the anesthesia causes the patient to stop breathing on their own or decrease breathing to the point that they don;t breathe enough, until they are fully awake.

The airways are kept open during and after surgery to ensure that the patient does not stop breathing and also to save time should they go into cardiac arrest, the tube is already in the airway ready for them to bag the patient and assist with breathing.
Some patients also need assistance with their breathing after surgery and this helps the process.
You could also look the answer up on the internet, look under surgery procedures and practices, should have some information on there.

You maintain an airway or prevent obstructions because of loss of muscle control /gag reflex due to anaesthetics or sedatives.
