Introduction: Some of our patients showed a recurrence of adhesive small bowel obstruction (ASBO) with nonoperative management. The aim of this study was to evaluate the parameters predicting the recurrence of ASBO in patients managed with a long tube.Methods: Of 234 patients with ASBO admitted from April 1998 to September 2002, a total of 91 who recovered with nonoperative management after long tube placement were enrolled in this retrospective clinical study. We divided them into two groups for follow-up: the recurrence group and the no-recurrence group. We compared baseline characteristics, the number of previous ASBO admissions, the number of abdominal operations, the interval from the onset of symptoms to long-tube insertion, the duration of long-tube placement, the type of the contrasted intestine through the long tube, the location of the long-tube tip, and the drainage volume through the long tube between the two groups. We then examined the cumulative recurrence rate.Results: A significant difference was found in the number of previous ASBO admissions, the duration of long-tube placement (77 hours vs. 43 hours), the contrasted intestine through the long tube, and the location of the long-tube tip. By multivariate analysis, the duration of long-tube placement was an independent parameter predicting the recurrence of ASBO.Conclusions: These results suggest that the duration of long-tube placement might serve as a parameter for predicting recurrence of ASBO in patients managed with a long tube.
