I have a partial small bowel obstruction where my small bowel was resectioned and stapled to the large bowel following a colonoscopy rupture, repair surgery and subsequent surgery to relieve blockage in the small bowel all in November/December 1995. I am on a liquid diet for one week.
My question. Can the partial blockage be removed laparoscopically? E. Christenson
