Methods Prospective randomised clinical trial.
Participants Patients with clinical and radiological diagnosis of adhesive small bowel obstruction.
Interventions Intervention group given 100ml of Gastrografin orally or via the naso‐gastric tube and abdominal radiograph was obtained after 90 and 240 minutes.
Outcomes Complete obstruction is diagnosed if the contrast failed to reach the colon after 240 minutes.
Notes More patients in the control group who did not receive Gastrografin had to have surgery which may indicate a therapeutic benefit from Gastrografin.
