Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
To recapitulate: Male/66 - small bowel obstruction, HT, DM - cholecystectomy in 2011 - wants to know whether current small bowel obstruction can be correlated with to previous cholecystectomy... Read the reports you have provided.
It is almost 5 years since cholecystectomy and if the complications of due to these had to occur they would have occurred in the immediate post-operative period or within the first few weeks only.
If the small bowel is a recent problems, then it is unlikely to be due to cholecystectomy in 2011.
I hope this answers your specific query, please feel free to ask for further relevant queries if you feel that there is a gap of communication.
Thanks for your appreciation.
