Abstract:
: Early postoperative inflammatory small bowel obstruction is one of the complications after abdominal surgery. Most obstructions will resolve on their own after nutritional support. However, the recovery of intestinal function takes a long time, which leads to high costs and is prone to occur related complications. Early postoperative inflammatory small bowel obstruction is also one of the risk factors for secondary adhesive intestinal obstruction. A few patients with ineffective conservative treatment have to undergo high-risk surgical treatment. Cases of early postoperative inflammatory small bowel obstruction complicated by superior mesenteric artery syndrome are relatively rare. Comprehensive treatment including acupuncture, hormones, and water-soluble contrast agents as well as early placement of enteral nutrition tubes is the key to the treatment of such patients.
