Popis: Small bowel obstruction is a common surgical emergency due to mechanical blockage of the bowel. Though it can be caused by varied pathology, the leading cause in the developed world is intra-abdominal adhesions. We present a rare case of small bowel obstruction at 5 months of pregnancy who presented with acute pain in abdomen and vomiting, and responded to laparoscopic adhesiolysis.
