Managing Adhesive Small Bowel Obstruction

Key Points

The aim is to evaluate the impact of timely surgery on outcomes in adhesive small bowel obstruction.
Assessing surgical outcomes related to delayed and prompt interventions
Comparing laparoscopic versus traditional surgical techniques
Analyzing rates of mortality and bowel resection
Delayed surgery leads to higher early mortality rates
Increased bowel resection rates observed with delayed interventions
Laparoscopic techniques significantly reduce long-term recurrence rates

Abstract

Delayed surgery for aSBO is associated with higher early mortality and bowel resection rates. Surgical management, particularly laparoscopic, substantially reduces long-term recurrence. Timely operative decision-making is crucial to balance immediate risks with long-term outcomes.
