Ileocolic Intussusception Due to Endometriosis

Intussusception is a rare cause of bowel obstruction in adults. Clinical manifestations are not specific, making the preoperative diagnosis difficult to establish. We report a case of acute small-bowel obstruction due to ileocolic intussusception. An emergency explorative laparoscopy was performed and revealed a mass in the right colon proximal to the ileocecal valve. Conversion to open laparot...

Strangulating ileocolic intussusception in pregnancy.

Intestinal obstruction in general, and intussusceptions in particular, is an uncommon clinical event which may complicate pregnancy with significant maternal and fetal mortality. We report a case of strangulating ileocolic intussusception during pregnancy at 22 weeks of gestation and its successful management. The usefulness of ultrasound in early diagnosis of intussusception in pregnancy is br...

The ileocolic segment in urologic surgery.

When, in 1957, we wrote on ileocystoplasty versus colocystoplasty' we started a controversy about which of the two intestinal segments would be the more appropriate for enterocystoplasty. The sigmoid colon seems to be the more advantageous for total or partial bladder substitution. This fact has been proven by clinical results. The ileum, because of its urine-conveying properties, apparently is...
