In adults, adhesions are the most common cause of small bowel obstruction, followed by hernia as the second. Adhesions are not offered (and no previous surgery is mentioned), so hernia is the best answer.
- Crohn's disease and gallstone ileus are much less common causes.
- Ulcerative colitis affects the colon and does not typically cause small bowel obstruction.
