Abstract
BACKGROUND Decompression of the intestine with a long tube or nasogastric tube is the first-choice treatment for adhesive small bowel obstruction (ASBO). Scheduling surgery while weighing the risks of surgery against conservative care is a crucial factor in clinical decision-making. Whenever feasible, unnecessary surgeries should be avoided, and it is essential to provide clinical markers for this. This study aimed to obtain evidence regarding the optimal timing of ASBO and when conservative treatment options are not successful. METHODS The data of patients diagnosed with ASBO and receiving long tube insertion for more than 7 days were reviewed. We investigated transit ileal drainage volume and recurrence. The primary outcomes were the change in the drainage volume from the long tube over time and the percentage of patients who required surgery. We evaluated some cutoff values to determine the indication for surgery based on the insertion duration and volume of long tube drainage. RESULTS Ninety-nine patients were enrolled in this study. Fifty-one patients showed improvement with conservative treatment, whereas 48 ultimately required surgery. When a daily drainage volume of ≥500 mL was considered an indication for surgery, 13-37 cases (25%-72%) would be judged unnecessary within 6 days of long tube insertion, while 5 cases (9.8%) would be judged unnecessary on day 7. DISCUSSION Unnecessary surgical interventions for ASBO might be avoided by assessing the drainage volume on day 7 after inserting a long tube.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic postoperatives outcomes in adhesiolysis are promising but conversion and morbidity remains high. The objective of our study was to determine preoperative factors to individualize and select the most appropriate approach for each patient. METHODS Patients ≥18 years old undergoing emergent surgery for adhesive small bowel obstruction and internal hernias were evaluated. Bivariate and multivariate analysis were performed to investigate factors related to conversion to open surgery and to the type of adhesions. RESULTS Of 333 patients, 224 were operated by laparotomy and 109 by laparoscopy (conversion rate: 40%). Previous abdominal wall mesh, type of adhesions, bowel lesion, need for intestinal resection and laparoscopic skills were statistically related to conversion. In the multivariate analysis, complex adhesions (OR 4.3, 95% CI 1.5-12.2; P = 0.006), the need for intestinal resection (OR 14.16, 95% CI 2.55-78.68; P = 0.002), and non-advanced laparoscopy surgeons (OR 4.31, 95% CI 1.56-11.94; P = 0.005) were independent factors for conversion to open surgery. ASA III-IV, previous surgeries, previous abdominal mesh and previous adhesiolysis were related to complex adhesions. Previous laparoscopic surgery and internal hernia or closed loop in computed tomography were associated with simple adhesions as a cause of the obstruction. In the multivariate, previous adhesiolysis (OR 4.76, 95% CI 1.23-18.3; P = 0.023) and the findings on computed tomography were significantly related with the type of adhesion. CONCLUSION Some preoperative factors allow to individualize the surgical approach in the adhesive small bowel obstruction improving surgical outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adhesive intestinal obstruction (AIO) is a common surgical emergency. Surgical exploration has a considerable risk of intestinal injury, and surgical treatment may greatly reduce the quality of life after surgery and cause AIO after re-operation. The nonsurgical treatment is effective for approximately 70% to 90% of patients with adhesive small bowel obstruction (ASBO). However, the high recurrence (30%) and mortality (2%) rates of ASBO are concerning. Moreover, the ideal management method of ASBO remains debatable. Studies have shown that acupuncture can also promote postoperative gastrointestinal function recovery and prevent postoperative complications such as nausea, vomiting, and visceral pain. AIM We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of acupuncture in the treatment of AIO. METHODS Randomized controlled trials investigating the effectiveness of acupuncture for adhesive bowel obstruction published until November 2021 were identified by searching 8 comprehensive databases. Data analysis was performed using RevMan v. 5.4 and Stata software v. 16.0. The random-effects model and the fixed-effects model were used to perform the meta-analysis on the experimental group and control group. RESULTS Twelve studies with a total of 892 participants were included. The results showed that the experimental group had a significantly higher effective rate (relative risk: 1.20; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.11-1.28; P < .00001) and a markedly shorter time of the first defecation (mean difference: -11.49, 95% CI: -19.31 to -3.66; P = .004) than the control group. The experimental group also showed a reduction in the duration of abdominal pain, and the reduced length of hospital stay. However, no statistical differences were observed between the 2 groups in terms of the surgery conversion rate. CONCLUSION Acupuncture is effective in the treatment of AIO. It can remarkably alleviate some clinical symptoms in patients with AIO.

Abstract
Background: The effectiveness of laparoscopic surgery for adhesive small bowel obstruction (ASBO) remains unclear. We aimed to compare the outcomes and safety of open and laparoscopic surgeries for ASBO. Methods: In this retrospective study, we analyzed an inpatient database of 42 national university hospitals in Japan. Patients who underwent surgery for the first episode of ASBO between April 2013 and March 2018 were identified. Using the propensity score method, patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery were matched one-to-one with those who underwent open surgery. We investigated postoperative clinical outcomes, including morbidity, mortality, length of hospital stay (LOS), and recurrence. Results: Overall, 306 and 96 patients underwent open and laparoscopic surgery, respectively (96 propensity score-matched pairs). The incidence rates of postoperative morbidity, mortality, and recurrence were comparable between the two groups. Cox regression analysis revealed a hazard ratio (HR) of 1.020 (P = .959) for readmission due to ASBO in the laparoscopic surgery group relative to the open surgery group. Postoperative hospital stay was longer for open surgery than for laparoscopic surgery (13.0 days versus 10.0 days, P < .001). Cox regression analysis revealed that laparoscopic surgery was associated with earlier postoperative discharge compared with open surgery (HR 1.641, P = .002). Conclusions: The postoperative LOS was shorter with laparoscopic surgery than with open surgery for ASBO, but there were no differences between the procedures in other clinical outcomes. Laparoscopic surgery is suitable to treat patients with ASBO.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We had previously reported that the administration of Gastrografin through a nasogastric tube (NGT-G) followed by long tube (LT) strategy could be a novel standard treatment for adhesive small bowel obstruction (ASBO); however, the long-term outcomes after initial improvement remain unknown. This study aimed to analyze the long-term outcomes of first-line NGT-G. METHODS Enrolled patients with ASBO were randomly assigned to receive LT or NGT-G between July 2016 and November 2018. Thereafter, the cumulative surgery rate, cumulative recurrence rate, and overall survival (OS) rate were analyzed. In addition, subset analysis was conducted to determine the cumulative recurrence rate according to colonic contrast with Gastrografin at 24 h. RESULTS A total of 223 patients (LT group, n = 111; NGT-G group, n = 112) were analyzed over a median follow-up duration of 550 days. The cumulative 1-year surgery rates, cumulative 1-year recurrence rates, and 1-year OS rates in the LT and NGT-G groups were 18.8% and 18.1%, 30.0% and 31.7%, and 99.1% and 96.6%, respectively; no significant differences were observed between both groups. In the NGT-G group, a negative colonic contrast at 24 h demonstrated a higher tendency for future recurrence compared with a positive colonic contrast at 24 h (1-year recurrence rate: negative contrast, 46.9% vs positive contrast, 27.6%). CONCLUSIONS Gastrografin through a nasogastric tube followed by LT can be a promising treatment strategy for ASBO, with long-term efficacies equivalent to initial LT placement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adhesive small bowel obstruction (ASBO) is one of the most common complications and is a major cause of re-admission after intra-abdominal surgery. The initial management of patients with ASBO is nonoperative treatment such as nil per os and decompression using a nasogastric tube. However, the ideal management of ASBO remains controversial. METHODS This study will be a prospective, single-center, double-blind randomized controlled trial. Ninety two participants diagnosed with ASBO will be randomly assigned to either the verum or the sham laser acupuncture (SLA) group in a 1:1 ratio. All participants will undergo laser acupuncture (LA) or SLA once a day on 6 acupoints (LI4, PC6, ST25, ST36, CV4 and CV12) for 6 consecutive days after enrollment. The primary outcome measure will be the success rate of conservative treatment for ASBO. Secondary outcomes will be time to oral intake and length of hospital stay. The serum levels of lipase, amylase, cortisol, motilin, ghrelin, and intestinal fatty acid binding protein (I-FABP) will also be measured before intervention, on day 4, and on the day of discharge, respectively. Data will be analyzed by Chi-Squared test or t test between 2 groups. OBJECTIVES The aim of this protocol is to investigate the clinical efficacy of LA on ASBO.

Abstract
Adhesive small bowel obstruction is a common pathology with a tendency to increase characterized by a complex pathogenetic course with a high percentage of complications and deaths. Among the forms of intestinal obstruction caused by mechanical obstacles acute small bowel obstruction ranges from 64,3 to 80% with a mortality rate of 5,1 to 8,4% in the structure of urgent diseases. The complexity of early diagnosis along with an erased clinical picture severe course against a burdened background as well as age - in elderly and senile people leads to the search for new optimized treatment and diagnostic protocols. The purpose of this study was to study the nature of the course of adhesive small bowel obstruction in elderly and senile people to establish the information content of various diagnostic methods to determine the indications for the choice of the optimal period and method of treatment. A comparative analysis of 191 patients aged 60 to 90 years and older who received treatment in the surgical departments of St. Elizabeth Hospital (St. Petersburg) in the period from 2016-2019 was carried out. All patients were divided into 2 groups: the main group consisted of 106 patients (2018-2019) the comparison group included 85 patients (2016-2017). All patients of the main group used an improved diagnostic and treatment algorithm with the use of an original point-assessment scale which made it possible to optimize diagnostics and improve treatment results. Patients in the comparison group were examined in accordance with standard protocols and surgical treatment was carried out exclusively by traditional methods. The use of the proposed therapeutic and diagnostic algorithm made it possible to increase the probability of conservative resolution of acute adhesive small bowel obstruction from 20% (17) to 33% (35) and to reduce the incidence of postoperative complications from 60,2% (41) to 25,3% (18), p<0,01, and the mortality rate from 23,5% (16) to 7% (5), p<0,05.

Abstract
Objectives The study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effect of gastrografin for the conservative treatment of patients with adhesive small bowel obstruction (ASBO) and to identify the predictors of failure of conservative treatment in these patients. Material and Methods A randomized controlled trial was conducted on 52 patients with the diagnosis of ASBO in 2016. 100 mL of Gastrografin and 100 mL of 0.9% saline solution were gavaged through the nasogastric tube in the case (n= 26) and control (n= 26) groups, respectively. Patients in the case group were subjected to plain abdominal X-Rays at 12, 24 and 48 hours after administration of gastrografin. Results Fifty-two patients with a mean age of 57.6 ± 11.4 years (range 37-81), including 34 (65.4%) males were enrolled into the study. The number of patients who were successfully conservatively treated in the case group was 21 (80.8%), which was significantly higher than 13 (50%) in the control group (p= 0.04). Among these patients, mean hospital stay in the case group was 37.2 ± 5.5 hours (range 28-46), which was significantly shorter than 45.8 ± 9.2 hours (range 36-61) in the control group (p= 0.004). In multivariate analysis, more than one previous laparotomy was the only predictor of failure of conservative treatment (p <0.001). Conclusion Gastrografin may be associated with improvement of patients with ASBO. Lower number of previous laparotomies may be a predictor of successful conservative treatment of these patients.

Abstract
Postoperative adhesions are a common cause of adhesive small bowel obstruction (ASBO), and recognition of intestinal strangulation is important. The aim of this study is to analyze the clinical factors for strangulating obstruction and to identify the predictors for recurrence of ASBO.A retrospective study was conducted using the database in our department. Patients with ASBO from January 2013 to April 2016 were included in the study and were subject to follow-up. The clinical factors associated with strangulating obstruction and recurrence after treatment were analyzed by using univariate and multivariate logistic regression model.In total, 288 ASBO patients were included in the study. Of these, 37 (12.9%) patients had occurred strangulating obstructions, and 251 (87.1%) patients had simple obstructions. Four clinical parameters, including increasing heart rate (>100 bpm), increasing WBC count (>15 × 10/L), CT findings of thickening or swelling of the mesentery, and CT showing seroperitoneum were detected as independent clinical factors for intestinal strangulation. Eighty-four (29.2%) patients experienced recurrence of obstruction during the median 24 months of follow-up. Recurrence rates were reduced in patients who underwent surgical treatment compared with those who received conservative management [21.3% (26/122) vs 34.9% (58/166) (P = .010)]. Nevertheless, the recurrence rates were not significantly increased in patients with strangulating obstructions compared with those with simple ASBO [34.3% (12/35) vs 27.7% (72/253) (P = .186)].Four clinical parameters including tachycardia, leukocytosis, along with CT findings of thickening or swelling of the mesentery and CT showing seroperitoneum, associated with occurrence of intestinal strangulation in ASBO. ASBO patients who underwent surgical treatment had a reduced recurrence rate, but ASBO patients with strangulating obstructions had not increase the recurrence rates than those of patients with simple ASBO.

Abstract
An adhesive small bowel obstruction (ASBO) is generally caused by postoperative adhesions and is more frequently associated with colorectal surgeries than other procedures. We compared the outcomes of operative and conservative management of ASBO after primary colorectal cancer surgery.We retrospectively reviewed 5060 patients who underwent curative surgery for primary colorectal cancer; 388 of these patients (7.7%) were readmitted with a diagnosis of SBO. We analyzed the clinical course of these patients with reference to the cause of their surgery.Of the 388 SBO patients analyzed, 170 were diagnosed with ASBO. Their 3-, 5-, and 7-year recurrence-free survival rates were 86.1%, 72.8%, and 61.5%, respectively. The median follow-up period was 59.2 months. Repeated conservative management for ASBO without surgical management led to higher recurrence rates: 21.0% after the first admission, 41.7% after the second, 60.0% after the third, and 100% after the fourth (P = .006). Surgical management was needed for 19.2%, 22.2%, 50%, and 66.7% of patients admitted with ASBO on the first to fourth hospitalizations, respectively. Repeated hospitalization for obstruction led to a greater possibility of surgical management (P = .001). Of 27 patients with surgical management at the first admission, 6 (17.6%) were readmitted with a diagnosis of SBO, but there were no further episodes of SBO in the surgically managed patients.Patients who undergo operative management for ASBO have a reduced risk of recurrence requiring hospitalization, whereas those with repeated conservative management have an increased risk of recurrence and require operative management. Operative management should be considered for recurrent SBO.
