Core Tip

Core Tip: This study highlights the clinical value of ultrasound classification in assessing the severity of adhesive intestinal obstruction. By categorizing cases into simple, complex, and critical types based on ultrasound findings, clinicians can more accurately determine the appropriate treatment approach - conservative or surgical. The results support ultrasound as a non-invasive, practical tool to guide personalized treatment plans and improve clinical decision-making in managing adhesive ileus.
