The Results of treatment of 8 female patients with early acute adhesive small bowel obstruction (AASBO) after laparoscopic gynecological surgery are presented. Diagnostic laparoscopy appeared to be the most helpful and the safest diagnostic technique, confirming the AASBO diagnosis and helping to choose operative treatment mode. In 5 patients AASBO was successfully treated using laparoscopic method, while in 3 patient median laparotomy was required: 1 patient with AASBO relapse, and 2 patients with pelvic peritonitis progression.
