Adhesive small bowel obstruction (ASBO) is a blockage in the small intestine caused by fibrous bands of scar tissue (adhesions) that form after abdominal surgery, leading to impaired passage of intestinal contents.
Accounts for 60-70% of all small bowel obstructions; 2-5% of patients develop ASBO after abdominal surgery (Source: World Journal of Emergency Surgery, 2017).
