Abstract
Adhesive small bowel obstruction is a relatively common surgical acute abdomen, which is caused by various factors that result in the contents of the small bowel failing to pass smoothly. The clinical symptoms include abdominal pain, distension, nausea and vomiting, and defecation disorder. The chance of adhesive small bowel obstruction to develop in patients with a history of abdominal surgery is around 2.4%. This paper discusses the most recent developments in the conservative and surgical management of adhesive small bowel obstruction based on clinical manifestation, laboratory analysis, and imaging examination.
