Article Synopsis
- Small bowel obstruction (SBO) is a frequent reason for acute abdominal pain in emergency settings, but a definitive diagnostic method is still unclear.
- This systematic review evaluated 21 studies with nearly 2,000 patients to determine how accurate ultrasonography is for diagnosing SBO, using comprehensive statistical analysis.
- The results indicate ultrasonography has a high sensitivity (93%) and good specificity (80%) for SBO diagnosis, suggesting it is a promising tool, though further global studies are needed to reinforce these findings.
