“…Adhesive occlusion affects mainly male with a sex ratio of 1.6. This has also been observed in other African studies [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. On the other hand, there was a women predilection in Western series [3][4].…”

“…It occurs mainly in young patients with a history of abdominal surgery, the age of our patient was 32 years, which is consistent with others series, like the series of Mr. Maliki Alaoui [2] where the mean age was 41.9 years, Miller 46 years [3], Diakité 39.7 years [4] and Harouna [5] 32 years. However Catel [6] and Hiki [7] found an elderly population (61 and 59.6 years respectively). This can be explained by the young age of the Moroccan population.…”

Adhesion-related small bowel obstruction is a common pathology in visceral surgery. Postoperative adhesion is the most common etiology of acute intestinal occlusion. We report the case of an intestinal occlusion caused by an adhesion between the ovary and the small bowel loops. In order to share the epidemiological, clinical, prognostic and therapeutic aspects of this affection, and also the unusual localization of the adhesion, this is described in our case report. Computed tomography has improved the diagnosis of adhesive small bowel obstruction and its findings in bowel ischemia are helpful to guide the therapeutic attitude. The treatment was surgical and the postoperative course was simple.

“…Recent studies have suggested that weather and climatic conditions may influence pulmonary phenotype and infection status in patients with CF and have highlighted the potential for environmental conditions in addition to genotype, socio‐economic status and access to specialist clinical care to influence outcomes for people with CF . In addition, the occurrence of post‐operative small bowel obstruction has been associated with seasonal variations, with significant correlations linked with both low ambient temperature and humidity . The primary aim of this study was to determine whether DIOS and constipation were related to warmer ambient temperatures and lower rainfall.…”

As a secondary aim, the differences in phenotype and genotype characteristics of patients with CF with complete DIOS, incomplete DIOS and constipation were evaluated.…”

Objectives were to determine the frequency, describe the epidemiological and clinical aspects, therapeutic and analyze the postoperative course. Methodology: This was a retrospective study that covered 08 years (January 2009-December 2017). Inclusion criteria: all patients operated for obstruction of the small bowel by hail and/or flanging. Exclusion criteria: other types of occlusion and non-operated patients. Result: We recorded a total of 162 cases of hail obstruction by adhesions and/or flanges at 2.87%. The average age was 32.04, the sex ratio was 1.2. The average consultation time was 4 days. Abdominal pain associated with stopping of material and gas was present in all our patients. X-ray of the abdomen without preparation carried out in all the patients made it possible to objectify in 150 patients (92.6%) of the hydro-hail levels. Inoperative occlusion of hail on flange was present in 80 patients (49.4%). Occlusion of the small bowel on flange and adhesion was present in 69 patients. Adhesion obstruction of hail accounted for 6.8% (11 cases). The most commonly used surgical technique was flange resection in 91 patients (56.2%). The follow-up was simple in 151 patients (93.2%). Mortality was 1.2% of cases, i.e. 2 deaths. The average duration of hospitalization was 6 days. Conclusion: Occlusion of the small bowel by flanging and/or adherence is a surgical emergency whose prognosis depends on early management.
