How does it present?
Symptoms:
Colicky abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and obstipation.
Continued passage of gas and/or stool beyond 12 hours after
onset of symptoms is characteristic of partial rather than
complete obstruction.
Signs:
Abdominal Distention (Greater the farther distal the
obstruction) and hyperactive, high pitched bowel sounds.
Laboratory Findings: Intravascular volume depletion (consist
of hemoconcentration and electrolyte abnormalities) Mild
leukocytosis.
Features of Strangulated Obstruction (Bowel Infarction):
Acute Abdomen,Tachycardia, localized abdominal tenderness,
fever, marked leukocytosis, and acidosis. Serum levels of
amylase, lipase, lactate dehydrogenase, phosphate, and
potassium may be elevated.

26/54
How is it diagnosed?
Evaluation Goals:
Distinguishing mechanical obstruction from ileus Determining the etiology of the obstruction
Discriminating partial from complete obstruction
Discriminating simple from strangulating obstruction.
History:
Prior abdominal operations
Presence of abdominal disorders (cancer or IBD)
Last BM and Flatus
Pediatrics - Ingestion of foreign body
Physical Exam: Meticulous Search for Hernias (inguinal and femoral)
Rectal Exam to look for gross or occult blood.
The diagnosis is usually confirmed by Radiology

V. Radiology: Flat and upright (or decubitus)abdominal X-Ray
A. Sensitivity: 60% (up to 90%)B. Typical findings of Bowel Obstruction
1. Bowel distention proximal to obstruction
2. Bowel collapsed distal to obstruction
3. Upright or decubitus view: Air-fluid levels4. Supine view findings
a. Sharply angulated distended bowel loops
b. Step-ladder arrangement or parallel
bowel loops

Abdominal series
1. Radiograph of the abdomen in a supine position
2. Radiograph of the abdomen in an upright position
3. Radiograph of the chest in an upright position.
Most Specific Finding: The Triad
1. Dilated small-bowel loops (>3 cm in diameter)
2. Air-Fluid levels on upright films
3. Paucity of air in the colon.
Sensitivity is 70 to 80%.
Specificity is low, because ileus and colonic obstruction have similar
appearing findings.
Despite some limitations, Plain films remain an important study
because of their widespread availability and low cost.

Computed Tomographic (CT) scanning
Study preformed with oral and IV contrast.
Findings:
1. Discrete transition zone with dilation of bowel proximally and
decompressed distally
2. Intraluminal contrast that does not pass beyond the transition zone
3. Colon containing little gas or fluid.
Strangulation:
Suggested by thickening of the bowel wall, pneumatosis intestinalis (air in
the bowel wall), portal venous gas, mesenteric haziness, and poor uptake
of intravenous contrast into the wall of the affected bowel.
Offers a global evaluation of the abdomen.
Important when intestinal obstruction represents only one possible diagnosis
in all acute abdominal conditions.
Sensitivity 80 to 90% (More sensitive the higher grade obstruction)
Specificity 70 to 90%

Method
1. From January 1999 to December 2001, 293 patientswith small bowel obstruction due to postoperativeadhesions were retrospectively reviewed .
2. Data collected included the number of admissions,type of management for each admission, duration ofconservative treatment, and operative findings.

Result1.Medical treatment:220
Repeated laprotomy:732.Period of observation
Medically:2-12 days(average 6.9) (until resolution ofobstruction)
Surgically:1-14 days(average 5.4)(prior to surgery)3.At surgery,
Adhesions were the only finding:46( 63% ofsurgically, 15.7% of all)
Intestinal complication:27(37% of surgically, 9.2% ofall)#Fever and leukocytosis greater than 15000/mm3

Conclusion
1. With closely monitoring, most patients withsmall bowel obstruction due topostoperative adhesions could toleratesupportive treatment
2. and recover well averagely within 1 week
3. although some patients require more than
10 days of observation.

Method
Patients with acute SBO treated
laparoscopically (LAP; n = 52) and
conventionally (CONV;n
= 52) werecompared in a retrospective matched-pair
analysis.
Conversions were included in the laparoscopic group.

Result
1.IntraOP major complication:
(Perforation ,Hemorrhage ,Injury to mesentery)

2.PostOP complication(Pulmonary, Cardiac, Deep vain thrombosis, Death)

53/54
Conclusion
1. Laparoscopic treatment of acute SBO was feasiblein about half of these patients.
2. Postoperative recovery was improved after
laparoscopic procedures but the risk ofintraoperative complications increased .
3. Laparoscopic management of acute SBO seemsjustified in patients with fewer than two previous
laparotomies but should not be offered to otherpatients because of the unacceptably high risk ofintraoperative bowel perforation.
