Archives of Surgery, 1981
To the Editor.—The article by Aitken et al (Archives1980;115:1031-1036) on obstruction of the defunctionalized small bowel after jejunoileal bypass is interesting, in that six of the seven cases described had a Scott-type end-to-end jejunoileal anastomosis rather than an end-to-side Payne procedure.

Laparoscopic approach to small bowel obstruction

Seminars in Laparoscopic Surgery, 2002
Historically, laparotomy and open adhesiolysis have been the treatment of choice for patients requiring surgery with small bowel obstruction (SBO), although laparotomy itself is an independent risk factor for bowel obstruction. Laparoscopy is known to create fewer intra-abdominal adhesions than open laparotomy.

Small-Bowel Obstruction

Southern Medical Journal, 1976
A retrospective review of experience with small-bowel obstruction at the University Hospital in Birmingham for a ten-year period (January 1963 through December 1972) revealed 465 episodes of obstruction in 415 patients. The mortality was 4% in obstruction due to adhesions, and 28% in obstruction caused by carcinoma; overall mortality was 8%.
