- J Trauma Acute Care Surg. 2017 Jul;83(1):47-54.
-
Rationale for inclusion: EAST sponsored multi-institutional, prospective, observational study performed on patients appropriate for Gastrografin with adhesive SBO. Patients receiving Gastrografin for adhesive SBO had lower rates of exploration and shorter hospital length of stay compared to patients who did not receive Gastrografin.

- Impact of hospital volume on outcomes for laparoscopic adhesiolysis for small bowel obstruction.
- Jean RA, O'Neill KM, Pei KY, Davis KA.
- J Surg Res. 2017 Jun 15;214:23-31.
-
Rationale for Inclusion: Using the National Inpatient Sample, this study looked at outcomes for laparoscopic lysis of adhesions in the setting of an adhesive small bowel obstruction. They showed that high volume centers produce better outcomes.

- Patients With Adhesive Small Bowel Obstruction Should Be Primarily Managed by a Surgical Team
- Aquina CT, Becerra AZ, Probst CP, Xu Z, Hensley BJ, Iannuzzi JC, Noyes K, Monson JR, Fleming FJ.
- Ann Surg. 2016 Sep;264(3):437-47.
-
Rationale for inclusion: This large study confirms that patients with SBO managed by a surgical team have superior outcomes compared to those managed by a medical team.

- How many sunsets? Timing of surgery in adhesive small bowel obstruction: a study of the nationwide inpatient sample.
- Schraufnagel D, Rajaee S, Millham FH.
- J Trauma Acute Care Surg. 2013 Jan;74(1):181-7; discussion 187-9.
-
Rationale for inclusion: With the advent of acute care surgery, we have an enhanced recognition that early treatment for a myriad of surgical pathologies improves outcomes. This paper, by virtue of using a secondary database, contains the largest sample of data available on this topic and reconfirms that delays in treatment represent poor management.

-
Rationale for inclusion: This paper represents one of the initial Practice Management Guidelines and was developed by EAST. Using an inclusive approach to the literature search, the authors were able to answer several questions germane to SBO management based on the quality of the literature. The questions include routine use of CT, indications of strangulation obstructions which warrant early exploration, indications for laparoscopic explorations, and reasons for the use of Gastrografin.

- J Am Coll Surg. 2011 Jun;212(6):1068-76.
-
Rationale for inclusion: This paper provides validated an evidence based protocol for the management of SBO. The protocol incorporates clinical and radiographic features to predict strangulation obstructions as well as failure of non-operative management. The guideline was designed to be straightforward and easy to implement.

- Br J Surg. 2010 Apr;97(4):470-8.
-
Rationale for inclusion: There are 14 randomized, controlled trials in the use of Gastrografin for the management of SBO. This paper is a meta-analysis of all of them. It highlights the shortcomings of the trials, which are significant. Nevertheless, it provides further data on the beneficial effects of Gastrografin for diagnostic and therapeutic utilization in SBO.

- Ann Surg. 2004 Aug;240(2):193-201.
-
Rationale for inclusion: Despite the retrospective nature, this study provides long-term outcomes and risk factors for SBO occurrence and recurrence. In particular, the duration of time from index to readmission is outlined both for patients who underwent operative and non-operative management. This is critical data when providing informed consent to patients who are wondering if an operative approach is appropriate based on long-term outcomes.
