[Two Cases of Small Bowel Obstruction Due to Postoperative Adhesions Treated with Laparoscopic Adhesiolysis].
We occasionally require surgical treatment for postoperative adhesion ileus. One patient had adhesion ileus 14 times in 14 years after distal gastrectomy and Billroth-Ⅰreconstruction for gastric cancer. He underwent laparoscopic adhesiolysis for a small bowel obstruction that adhered to the entire surface. Another patient experienced adhesion ileus 7 times in 1.5 years after distal gastrectomy and Billroth-Ⅰreconstruction for gastric cancer. He underwent laparoscopic adhesiolysis for a small bowel obstruction adhering to the scar and the retroperitoneum. After laparoscopic treatment, he underwent an open operation for ischemic colitis but no small bowel obstruction was found. Laparoscopic adhesiolysis was found to be useful in both cases.
