Abstract

The best treatment strategy for adhesive small bowel obstruction (ASBO) in elderly patients is still a matter of debate.[1] If success with a nonoperative management (NOM) allows the patient avoid the negative effects of perioperative complications, NOM failure could lead to a significant delay in surgical treatment, potentially causing a further depletion of physiological reserves.[2,3] Therefore, a comprehensive geriatric assessment is always recommended to optimize the diagnostic and clinical strategies in cases of ASBO.[1] The present study was conducted to define predictive factors for successful NOM in elderly patients (≥ 65 years) presenting with ASBO at a tertiary emergency department (ED).
