Abstract A case of distal ileal diverticulosis complicated by diverticulitis causing partial small bowel obstruction is presented.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Presentations: In the first month of life, the most typical presentation includes feeding intolerance with bilious (ie, yellow or green) vomiting and sudden onset of abdominal pain.[slideshare.net]
Obstruction of the intestines due to adhesions resulting from previous abdominal surgery is painful, results in vomiting and dehydration and requires urgent medical and often surgical intervention.[news-medical.net]

If you experience constipation, nausea, vomiting or abdominal pain when following your liquid diet for a partial bowel obstruction you should consult your physician immediately.[livestrong.com]
Then at 4 AM I started vomiting. I knew that wasn't normal, so I begrudgingly went to the ER thinking maybe I had food poisoning. They did a CT with contrast and found a partial small bowel obstruction.[obesityhelp.com]
The tube will remove any fluids or gas trapped in your stomach and relieve any pain and vomiting. You will not be able to have anything to eat or drink to avoid adding any pressure or bulk to the blockage.[bladderandbowel.org]

Criteria for admission into the study were: signs and symptoms consistent with PSBO (pain, distention, nausea, vomiting, and constipation), a history of abdominal surgery at least 4 weeks before enrollment, and a plain upright abdominal X-ray that showed[ahcmedia.com]
Typical symptoms are cramping abdominal pain, nausea, rumbling bowel sounds and cessation of gas.[healthhype.com]
I was recovering and ready to go back to work in a few weeks then I started experiencing the same severe pain with nausea and vomiting this time. They diagnosed partial small bowel obstruction. I had an NG tube and was NPO for bowel rest.[csn.cancer.org]
But often the distinguishing feature can be cramping abdominal pain and hyperactive or highpitchedbowelsounds.[clinicaladvisor.com]

BACKGROUND: Nothing by mouth (NPO) is the standard treatment for small-bowel obstruction. Whether oral medications should be prohibited during treatment of adhesive, partial small-bowel obstruction is unclear.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Operation remains the most appropriate and definitive treatment for this complication and the laparoscopic approach is a feasible and safe surgical treatment option.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Ten obstructive episodes (21%) in the control group required operative treatment compared with six (10%) in the trial group (p 0.12).[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Outlook (Prognosis) The outcome depends on the cause of the blockage. Most of the time, the cause is easily treated.[nicklauschildrens.org]
Obstruction not associated with cancer has a very good prognosis, especially in otherwise healthy people.[drugs.com]
PrognosisPrognosis for ileus in the critically ill is based on underlying cause. However, delay in enteral nutrition has been shown to increase morbidity and trend to mortality.[clinicaladvisor.com]
Prognosis is good, if treatment starts early. On the other hand, severe untreated bowel obstruction with strangulation regularly ends with death. In small bowel obstruction, treatment is often non-surgical.[healthhype.com]
The predominant etiology continues to be postoperative adhesions, accounting for approximately two-thirds of all obstructive events.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
CT abdomen provides detailed information including the possible etiology for obstruction. CT with PO and IV contrast has a sensitivity and specificity of 100 and 83%. If the bowel is ischemic, then specificity decreases to 61%.[lumen.luc.edu]

A bowel obstruction is the partial or complete blockage of areas of the small intestines, preventing food and digestive liquid from moving through.[livestrong.com]
Presently there are no therapies to prevent small bowel obstruction except avoiding the risks (such as surgical techniques to avoid adhesions, which are being explored) or lysis of existing adhesions to prevent some recurrences.[metrowestdailynews.com]
