Popis: BACKGROUND Adhesive small bowel obstruction (ASBO) is one of the major causes of postoperative morbidity. Non-surgical management is generally applied to non-strangulated ASBO. Several factors have been reported to affect the response to non-surgical management in patients with ASBO. However, the association between sex differences and non-strangulated ASBO remains unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the effect of sex differences in non-strangulated postoperative ASBO. METHODS We divided 139 patients with a first episode of non-strangulated postoperative ASBO into two groups: male group (n = 83) and female group (n = 56). Clinical features and prognosis were compared between the two groups. RESULTS Female patients had lower proportions of oesophageal/gastric malignancies (P = 0.044) and colorectal malignancies (P = 0.030) and a higher proportion of uterine/ovarian malignancies (P
