Abstract
Herein, we report a case of an elderly woman with multiple co-morbidities who presented with clinical findings indicative of small bowel obstruction (SBO), which was confirmed on a CT scan. She underwent a laparotomy, which demonstrated herniation of small bowel into a retrocaecal position. Gangrenous small bowel was resected and primary anastomosis performed. After a brief period on the High Dependency Unit (HDU), she returned to the ward and was discharged back to the community.
