Abstract

Objectives: to evaluate the results of laparoscopic management for small bowel obstruction due to phytobezoar. Patients and research methods: a cross-sectional, retrospective study on 76 patients diagnosed with small bowel obstruction due to phytobezoar and laparoscopic surgery at 103 Military Hospital from May 2018 to October 2022. Results: Small bowel obstruction due to phytobezoar in the ileum, jejunum, jejunum + ileum were 43.4%, 51.3%, and 5.3%, respectively. Phytobezoarin was 1 position accounted for the majority of 94.7%, 2 positions accounted for 5.3%. Laparoscopic surgery (39.5%), assisted laparoscopic surgery (60.5%). Pushing phytobezoardown the colon was applied in 36.8% of cases, colostomy was applied for 63.2%. Laparoscopic surgery and assisted laparoscopic surgery helped patients recover early, the mean post-operative eating time of the 2 groups was 2.38 ± 0.78 days and 3.55 ± 1.49 days, respectively. The mean hospital stay after surgery was 5.17 ± 1.76 days and 7.13 ± 4.90 days, respectively. The rate of complications after surgery is low, serosa tear 6.5%, wound infection 2.6%, early small bowel obstruction after surgery 1.3%. Conclusion: The application of laparoscopic management for small bowel obstruction due to phytobezoarin the selected group of patients is safe, feasible, helps patients recover quickly, and has a low rate of accidents and complications
