Surgical image of small bowel obstruction due to abdominal adhesions
Surgical image shows dilated and congested loops of small intestine in the upper right corner and normal sized decompressed loops of small bowel adjacent to them. A volvulus was noted at the level of the terminal ileum, caused by adhesions from the cecum to the small bowel, forming a closed loop obstruction that was causing bowel wall congestion.

The diagnosis was small bowel obstruction due to abdominal adhesions.
