AB Key  Points  The  small  intestine  performs  a  diverse  set  of  functions.  Small  bowel  obstruction  is  one  of  the  most  common  surgical  diagnoses.  Most  cases  of  small  bowel  obstruction  are  due  to  adhesions  from  previous  surgery  and  resolve  with  conservative  management.  Tumors  and  malignancies  of  the  small  bowel  are  rare  and  difficult  to  diagnose.  If  following  surgical  resection  less  than  200  cm  of  small  bowel  remains,  patients  are  at  risk  of  developing  short  bowel  syndrome.
