Research Article: Small Bowel Obstruction in Virgin Abdomen: Predictors of Surgical Intervention Need in Resource-Limited Setting

Date Published: 2023-12-12

Abstract:
Small bowel obstruction (SBO) is more accurately described as a clinical syndrome than a distinct disease. Indeed, it stands as one of the most frequent surgical emergencies, accounting for up to % of hospital admissions. Despite its significant incidence, SBO continues to pose diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Contemporary clinical and diagnostic tools, while advanced, sometimes fall short of conclusively differentiating or detecting severe complications, such as ischemia which may results in gangrenous bowel necrosis.
