Background: Early Post-Operative Small Bowel Obstruction (EP-SBO) is common complication following laparotomy. Pathophysiology of early post-operative small bowel obstruction is poorly understood.Methods: This cross-sectional observational study was conducted over a period of 18 month on 180 patients who underwent emergency abdominal laparotomy.Results: EP-SBO developed in 35.55% patients. History of previous surgery, location of disease, degree of peritonitis, operative procedure, wound dehiscence was found to be significantly related with occurrence of EP-SBO.Conclusions: EP-SBO is more likely to develop if patient had history of previous surgery, peritonitis, some operative procedure, ostomy, wound dehiscence. We should have a preventive attitude towards any risk factor at any stage- Before, During and After surgery and CECT-Abdomen is a helpful tool in establishing need of re-laparotomy.

ABSTRACTObjective: Early detection of signs of strangulation in case of acute small bowel obstruction is critical because it mandates an operation. So, the role of different available radiological techniques used for diagnosing strangulating SBO is reviewed.Conclusion: Strangulation remains a major problem in patients with acute small bowel obstruction. Despite of having several radiological diagnostic tools, CT is the only method with established higher diagnostic sensitivity and specificity in patients with acute small bowel obstruction as well as strangulation.Keywords: obstruction; radiological techniques; small intestines; strangulation.
