  • Title: Surgical decisions in the laparoscopic management of small bowel obstruction: report on two cases.
    Author: Posta C.
    Journal: J Laparoendosc Surg; 1996 Apr; 6(2):117-2. PubMed ID: 8735050.
    Abstract:
    Laparoscopic management of bowel obstruction secondary to adhesions presents a difficult challenge for the general surgeon. The surgical management of two such cases is reported here: one patient with recurrent abdominal pain secondary to partial bowel obstruction, the other with acute small bowel obstruction. Surgical decision-making and technical aspects of the procedures are described. With careful patient selection and meticulous technique laparoscopic resolution of bowel obstruction may be feasible and should be attempted.
