44180 is for laparoscopic adhesiolysis which would release the small bowel obstruction if the adhesions were the reason for the obstruction.
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.
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.

The small intestine, also known as the small bowel, runs from your stomach to your large intestine (colon). The small intestine has three sections: the duodenum, the jejunum and the ileum. Small bowel cancer is an uncommon type of cancer that occurs in the small intestine.
In small bowel obstruction, the pain tends to be colicky (cramping and intermittent) in nature, with spasms lasting a few minutes. The pain tends to be central and mid-abdominal. Vomiting may occur before constipation. In large bowel obstruction, the pain is felt lower in the abdomen and the spasms last longer.
A closed loop obstruction is a specific type of bowel obstruction in which two points along the course of a bowel are obstructed, usually but not always with the transition points adjacent to each other at a single location.
The term "pseudo-obstruction" refers to a group of gastrointestinal disorders with similar characteristics that can have a variety of causes. The symptoms of intestinal pseudo-obstruction are caused by a problem in how the muscles and nerves in the intestines work.
