Abstract
Tirzepatide dose escalation may precipitate functional small bowel obstruction that mimics mechanical obstruction, even in surgically naïve patients. Careful medication review and objective tools such as the water-soluble contrast challenge can support safe non-operative management and help avoid unnecessary surgical intervention.
