Early identification of reversible strangulating ischemia in adhesive small bowel obstruction using non-contrast computed tomography and routine laboratory parameters

Figure 3 Intraoperative findings. A: The greater omentum adheres to the mesentery of the ascending colon, forming a defect (forceps). A herniated small bowel segment appears dark purple-red (white star); B: After release of strangulation, bowel color improves (white bracket) and peristalsis returns. No bowel resection was performed.
