A small bowel obstruction is a blockage in the small intestine. Small bowel obstructions are usually caused by scar tissue, hernia, or cancer. In the United States, most obstructions occur as a result of prior surgeries. The bowel often forms bands of scar (called adhesions) after being handled during an operation.
Ileus is a temporary lack of the normal muscle contractions of the intestines. Abdominal surgery and drugs that interfere with the intestine's movements are a common cause. Bloating, vomiting, constipation, cramps, and loss of appetite occur.
However, closed loop obstructions are characterized by their complete nature and high morbidity and risk of death in case of delayed surgery [2]. In the colon, ischemic complications only occur on volvulus.
