“…Our conversion rate of 30% compares favorably to existing reports in which conversion rates range from 6.7% to 43% [20,[22][23][24]. The comparably low conversion rate of 17% by Mancini et al in their study of 6,165 patients with adhesion-related SBO may be explained by the low initial percentage (11%) of patients treated laparoscopically, indicating a positive selection of patients amenable to successful laparoscopic adhesiolysis [5]. As stated by the authors, patients undergoing laparoscopy were significantly more likely to be women, younger, have less comorbidity, and have private health care insurance.…”

“…A recent large study by Mancini et al found that, in the United States, only 11% of patients with adhesion-related SBO from the 2002 National Inpatient Sample were treated laparoscopically [5]. Laparotomy is regarded as a proven and reliable, albeit often demanding, procedure with significant morbidity and mortality.…”

“…1,22,23 Since the first report of Bastug et al for successful laparoscopic adhesiolysis in 1991, 9 technological developments and increased experience with LS have led to a number of studies reporting advantages of LS, including a shorter postoperative hospital stay, fewer complications, and less postoperative pain. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] Kim et al reported significant reductions in return of bowel function (4.3 vs. 6.6 days, p=0.02), and hospital stay (8.1 vs. 15.2 days, p=0.04). 17 Moreover, in a systematic review comparing laparoscopic adhesiolysis with open adhesiolysis for SBO treatment, LS resulted in reduced risks of morbidity, mortality, and surgical site infection.…”

“…9 Since then, with the recent technical advances and increased experience in LS, many previous studies have shown the safety, feasibility, and potential superiority of a laparoscopic approach for the treatment of SBO. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] Moreover, some studies have reported long-term outcomes, such as the frequency and management of recurrence after LS. [18][19][20] Despite many studies have been reported on safety of laparoscopic adhesiolysis in SBO, prospective randomized trials comparing LS and OS in the treatment of SBO have not been published.…”

“…Maintain strict compliance with the aseptic concept. Upholding and strengthening the aseptic operation can maximally prevent bacteria from infecting the incisions; it can also reduce iatrogenic infection and resolve the infection caused by intestinal adhesion formation [19]. 2.…”
