A 62-yeаr-оld mаn with а histоry оf open appendectomy presents to the emergency department with 12 hours of crampy periumbilical pain, nausea with two episodes of bilious vomiting, and progressive abdominal distension. He reports no passage of flatus since last evening. He underwent an elective inguinal hernia repair 5 days ago and was prescribed oxycodone at discharge.
