摘要
Bezoar-related bowel obstruction is one unusual cause of mechanical ileus, and
recurrent bowel obstruction with a bezoar is even rarer. We present a case of
recurrent postoperative bezoar bowel obstruction due to a missed concomitant
gastric bezoar, which was shown in the pre-operative abdominal CT, but in this case
the main lesion related to bowel obstruction had been considered to be the bowel
bezoar. A second operation was performed 7 days later for the recurrent bowel
obstruction. A review of the literature shows that intra-operative fragmentation of
the gastric bezoar should be considered to prevent recurrent bowel obstruction.
