Abstract
SBS is a potential postoperative complication of intraabdominal procedures and accounts for a considerable proportion of tertiary referrals for SBS. Surgical treatment of postoperative obstruction after common surgical procedures is the most frequent cause. Preventing adhesions, avoiding technical errors, diagnosing a potentially ischemic intestine in a timely manner, and approaching the frozen abdomen cautiously are important strategies for preventing this condition.
