We report a case of orange-induced small bowel diverticular obstruction treated with laparoscopically-assisted surgery. A 64-year-old man was seen at the hospitalbecause of abdominalpain and vomiting after dinner. Abdominalcomputed tomography( CT)showed a small intestinal ileus. We performed laparoscopically-assisted surgery on the same day for definitive diagnosis and treatment. The postoperative course was uneventful. The pathological diagnosis was orange-induced small boweldiverticul ar obstruction. Food-induced smallbowelobstruction is rare disease, but often requires surgery. Laparoscopic surgery is an effective option for surgery of food-induced smallbowel obstruction.
