Summary

Small bowel obstruction (SBO) is a common and potentially life-threatening acute surgical condition. A minority of patients present with a clear indication for urgent surgical intervention, either on the basis of clinical or radiological assessment (clinical signs of peritonitis/sepsis; suspicion of bowel ischaemia; closed loop obstructions; irreducible herniae etc.). However, the optimal management of the remaining patients, the majority of whom present with SBO caused by abdominal adhesions, remains a topic of international debate with practice varying in different healthcare systems.

This multicentre, prospective, observational study aims to describe the current management of patients admitted with SBO in 6 acute hospitals (Bispebjerg, Herlev, Hillerød, Hvidovre, Køge, Slagelse) on the island of Sjælland, Denmark, which accounts for a 1/3 of the total Danish population.
