Systematic review compares clinical outcomes of operative versus non-operative treatment in adhesive small bowel obstruction, suggesting implications for patient management.

Key Points

The research aims to compare the effectiveness of operative and non-operative treatments for adhesive small bowel obstruction, focusing on outcomes like recurrence and complications.
Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled and non-randomized studies
Database search included PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library
Assessment of recurrence, mortality, complications, and length of hospital stay among 91,838 patients.
Operative management significantly reduced recurrence rates across all studies
No significant difference in overall mortality rates, but short-term mortality was higher in some non-randomized studies
Operative treatment led to higher complication rates, longer length of hospital stay, and increased costs compared to non-operative treatment.
