Abstract
Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis (SEP) is a total or partial fibrocollagenous membrane encapsulating the small intestine which can result in an acute or subacute small bowel obstruction. Overall, SEP is an incompletely understood peritoneal adhesional phenomena that has been described by other names including peritonitis chronica fibrosa incapsulata and 'abdominal cocoon'. 1 We report the first Australian case managed with a completely laparoscopic surgical approach.
