Comparing laparoscopic and open surgery for intestinal obstruction caused by adhesions
Official title: Comperative Study Between Laparoscopic Adhesiolysis Vs Open Adhesiolysis in Adhesive Intestinal Obstruction
Run by Assiut University · NCT06446440 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing whether laparoscopic surgery is a better option than open surgery for patients with intestinal blockages caused by adhesions who haven't improved with other treatments.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults over 18 years old with adhesive intestinal obstruction who have failed conservative management.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with intestinal obstruction due to causes other than adhesions or those with significant comorbidities may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This study evaluates the effectiveness and feasibility of laparoscopic adhesiolysis compared to open adhesiolysis in patients with adhesive intestinal obstruction. It aims to introduce laparoscopic techniques into emergency settings at Assiut University Hospital. The study will analyze outcomes such as length of hospital stay and morbidity rates associated with each surgical approach. Patients who have not responded to conservative treatment will be included in the evaluation.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved surgical outcomes and reduced recovery times for patients with adhesive intestinal obstruction.
How similar studies have gone: While laparoscopic techniques have gained popularity, definitive evidence of their superiority over open approaches in this specific context remains limited.
