Outpatient Management of Partial Small Bowel Obstruction Using an Oral Palatable Elemental Diet
摘要
Partial small bowel obstruction (pSBO) is often caused by intraabdominal adhesions. While lysis of adhesions can be considered, management typically involves hospitalization, bowel rest, and/or decompression. We present a case of recurrent pSBO managed as an outpatient with palatable elemental diet (PED).
