Abstract
This small series demonstrates that laparoscopy can serve as a good diagnostic tool as well as treatment of acute small bowel obstruction. In an appropriately selected patient, laparoscopic management of small bowel obstruction is a feasible therapeutic approach and appears to convey the benefits of a short postoperative hospital stay, reduced postoperative complications and possibly reduced subsequent adhesion formation.
