Early postoperative small bowel obstruction: open vs laparoscopic

Abstract: BACKGROUND The window for safe reoperation in early postoperative (<6 weeks) small bowel obstruction (ESBO) is short and intimately dependent on elapsed time from the initial operation. Laparoscopic procedures create fewer inflammatory changes than open laparotomies. We hypothesize that it is safer to reoperate for ESBO after laparoscopic procedures than open. METHODS Review of patients who underwent re-exploration for ESBO from 2003 to 2009 was performed. Based on the initial operation, patients were classi… Show more

“…We recorded a frequency of 1.6% comparable statistically to that of Moroccan series [8]. [12] (P = 0.05). This difference could be explained by the younger population in Africa compared to a more aging Western population.…”

“…Reoperation in the immediate postoperative period has been conventionally avoided, since dense and inflammatory adhesions are maximum in this period [15]. To evaluate the surgical feasibility related to postoperative adhesion, we evaluated the operation time.…”

“…The occurrence of ileus was also noted; it was defined as abnormal postoperative bowel function recovery or the use of a nasogastric tube because of vomiting without evidence of mechanical bowel obstruction [ 18 ]. Postoperative small-bowel obstruction (SBO) was considered to be the existence of mechanical intestinal obstruction symptoms associated with supporting findings on imaging studies [ 19 , 20 ]. In addition, other parameters including dehydration, acute renal failure (ARF), and reoperation were noted.…”
