Core Tip	Intraabdominal adhesions are the most common cause of small bowel obstruction which occasionally leads to intestinal ischemia (InIs). InIs can be a life-threatening condition that requires high index of suspicion because the clinical signs are mild and you should rely for diagnosis in computed tomography findings and lactate levels. Lactate, if present is a good indicator of the progress or regression of the disease. Diagnosis of InIs leads to immediate operation. Conservative surgical approach avoiding resection of ischemic bowel, could lead to reversal of InIs and should be used even when minimum signs of viability are present.
