Laparoscopic approach to acute small bowel obstruction: review of 1061 cases.

Background: Acute small bowel obstruction has previously been considered a relative contraindication for laparoscopic management. As experience with laparoscopy grows, more surgeons are attempting laparoscopic management for this indication. The purpose of this study is to define the outcome of laparoscopy for acute small bowel obstruction through an analysis of published cases.
