Adhesive small bowel obstruction after laparotomy during infancy

Intra‐abdominal adhesions can cause adhesive small bowel obstruction, chronic abdominal pain and female infertility. Reports on long‐term outcomes following laparotomy during infancy are scarce. The aims of this study were to investigate the incidence of and risk factors for long‐term adhesive small bowel obstruction and associated morbidity after laparotomy during infancy.
