Some causes of bowel<unk>  may resolve spontaneously; many require operative treatment. In adults, frequently the surgical intervention and the treatment of the causative lesion are required. In malignant large bowel<unk> , endoscopically placed self-expanding metal stents may be used to temporarily relieve the<unk>  as a bridge to surgery, or as palliation.<unk>  of the type of bowel<unk>  is normally conducted through initial plain radiograph of the abdomen, luminal contrast studies, computed tomography scan, or ultrasonography prior to determining the best type of treatment. Further research is needed to find out if parenteral nutrition is of benefit to people with an inoperable blockage of the bowel caused by advanced cancer. Small bowel<unk>  In the management of small bowel<unk> s, a commonly quoted surgical aphorism is: "never let the sun rise or set on small-bowel<unk> " because about 5.5% of small bowel<unk> s are ultimately fatal if treatment is delayed. Improvements in radiological imaging of small bowel<unk> s allow for confident distinction between simple<unk> s, that can be treated conservatively, and<unk> s that are surgical emergencies (volvulus, closed-loop<unk> s, ischemic bowel, incarcerated hernias, etc.). A small flexible tube (nasogastric tube) may be inserted through the nose into the stomach to help decompress the dilated bowel. This tube is uncomfortable but relieves the abdominal cramps, distention, and vomiting. Intravenous therapy is utilized and the urine output is monitored with a catheter in the bladder. Most people with SBO are initially managed conservatively because in many cases, the bowel will open up. Some adhesions loosen up and the<unk>  resolves. The patient is examined several times a day, and X-ray images are made to ensure he or she is not getting clinically worse. Conservative treatment involves insertion of a nasogastric tube, correction of dehydration and electrolyte abnormalities. Opioid pain relievers may be used for patients with severe pain. Antiemetics may be administered if the patient is vomiting. Adhesive<unk> s often settle without surgery. If the<unk>  is complete surgery is usually required. Most patients improve with conservative care in 2–5 days. When the<unk>  is cancer, surgery is the only treatment. Those with bowel resection or lysis of adhesions usually stay in the hospital a few more days until they can eat and walk. Small bowel<unk>  caused by Crohn's disease, peritoneal carcinomatosis, sclerosing peritonitis, radiation enteritis, and postpartum bowel<unk>  are typically treated conservatively, i.e. without surgery.
