He presented after one week of abdominal pain with worsening and non-bloody, non-bilious emesis. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed distal SBO with a mesenteric swirl. Laparoscopy confirmed a necrotic Meckel diverticulum with volvulized distal ileum; the tethering band was divided and segmental ileal resection with anastomosis performed. After transient return of bowel function, he developed recurrent distention and bilious emesis; imaging showed a discrete transition point near the anastomosis with decompressed distal bowel and colon. Symptoms persisted despite decompression and parenteral nutrition. Repeat laparoscopy revealed a single omental band proximal to the anastomosis; adhesiolysis resolved obstruction. Clinical lesson: early focal postoperative SBO with a discrete transition point may warrant prompt minimally invasive re-exploration.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjag393","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,9]],"date-time":"2026-05-09T11:44:11Z","timestamp":1778327051000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Dual-mechanism
