    Abstract:
    The authors report 3 cases of small bowel obstruction due to phytobezoar, and they describe various aetiological factors of this pathology. The surgical treatment of choice is the removal of phytobezoar by enterotomy. Particularly important is the intraoperative exploration of gastrointestinal tract to localize other phytobezoars.
