Comparison of Early Operative Treatment (12 h) and 48 h Conservative Treatment in Acute Small Bowel Obstruction

This study will compare the results of early surgery after 12 h conservative treatment and 48 h conservative treatment of adhesive small bowel obstruction.

Detailed Description

At the admission patients undergo abdomen x-ray, general and biochemical blood test and computer tomography (CT). After exclusion of indications for an emergency operation, patients are given a water-soluble contrast. Conservative treatment is carring out to 12 hours from admission. All patients with resolution of small bowel obstruction in 12 hours will be excluded from the research. Criteria for obstruction release of conservative treatment 1. No pain 2. Appearance of gas in the colon 3. Decrease of bloating 4. Contrast in the colon. After that, if obstruction is not resolved, randomization is performed. First group undergo surgery. Second group undergo conservative treatment with water-soluble contrast evaluation until 48 hours. In the second group surgery is performed if the conservative treatment is not effective. The results of early and late surgery and the results of conservative treatment in groups will be compared.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Early surgery
After exclusion of indications for an emergency operation, conservative treatment is performed up to 12 hours from the moment of admission. Each patient receive blood test, blood lactate investigation, blood biochemistry, X-ray of the abdomen, ultrasound and CT on the admission. Each patient receive water-soluble contrast in 3 h after admission. In case of of clinical and radiologic signs of obstruction in 12 h after admission, surgery is performed. On the first stage of surgical treatment laparoscopic adhesiolysis is performed. If it is impossible to eliminate the cause of obstruction by laparoscopic technique laparotomy is performed.

Method of video laparoscopic operation:

  • Open access in the left upper quadrant of the anterior abdominal wall,
  • Installation of trocars, depending on the prevalence of the adhesion process
  • Assessment of the peritoneal adhesion index
  • Detection of the asleep gut
  • Detection of obstacle area
  • Removing the obstacle without trying to completely eliminate the adhesion process in the abdominal cavity

If there is no possibility to eliminate the cause of intestinal obstruction laparoscopically laparotomy is performed.

X-ray of the thoracic (1) and abdomen (2-5 times) with water soluble contrast.
Computer tomography of abdomen with iv contrast
Ultrasound of the abdomen (2 times)
General blood test and biochemical blood test 2 times a day
Active Comparator: Late surgery
After exclusion of indications for an emergency operation, conservative treatment is performed up to 48 hours from the moment of admission. Each patient receive blood test, blood lactate investigation, blood biochemistry, X-ray of the abdomen, ultrasound and CT on the admission. Each patient receive water-soluble contrast 3 h after admission. In case of present of obstruction and absence of contrast in colon in 36 h after intake (48 h after admission) a surgery is perform. On the first stage of surgical treatment laparoscopic adhesiolysis is performed. If it is impossible to eliminate the cause of obstruction by laparoscopic technique laparotomy is performed.
