Postoperative intussusception is a rare complication after various kinds of operations, the incidence of POI is 0.01–0.25 % of children following laparotomy. We reported and analyzed a case of a patient who developed postoperative intussusception following laparotomy for Nissen fundoplication.Postoperative intussusception differs from the other cases of invagination with respect to the pathogen...

intussusception is a common pediatric surgical emergency, but rarely seen postoperatively as a cause of obstruction. this complication occurs after abdominal, thoracic, orthopaedic and urologic operations. ileus and obstruction due to adhesion band are the common causes of postoperative obstruction, however, although intussusception is less frequent but can be serious. we have to consider this ...

postoperative intussusception in adults is an extremely rare clinical entity. postoperative intussusception caused by a jejunal peritoneal cyst is even rarer. etiopathogenesis of this clinical condition is not well understood. in the given case it seems to be a complication of prolonged contact of a draining tube with bowel. we present a case of postoperative spontaneous intussusception in a 72...

Adult intussusception usually presents with nonspecific symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, vomiting, and a change in bowel habits. Although postoperative intussusception has been described in the pediatric population, there has been little description of it in the adult population. Postoperative intussusception has unique challenges, as hydrostatic reduction may compromise bowel...

Postoperative intussusception is an uncommon but serious condition in infants and children. Here, we report seven cases of postoperative intussusception in infants and children who were seen at our institution over the last 13 y. The patients showed increased nasogastric drainage, vomiting, lack of stool, and/or growing abdominal distension 2 to 9 d following abdominal surgery. Manual reduction...

Intussusception is an invagination of a proximal segment the bowel into immediately adjacent, distal portion bowel. Ileocolic intussusception one most common causes obstruction in children. The peak incidence occurs infants between five and seven months age. etiology children typically idiopathic, approximately 5-10% patients have pathological lead point. Postoperative rare intussusception. Chi...

Ann Saudi Med 2006;26(4):315-317 Postoperative intestinal obstruction (POI) is a well-recognized complication usually related to peritoneal adhesions. It is an uncommon and frequently overlooked cause of intestinal obstruction and accounts for 5% to 10% of postoperative ileus in children.1 The actual incidence of postoperative intussusception following laparotomy is low and varies from 0.01 to ...

Postoperative idiopathic intussusception is considered to be a distinct entity, and has been reported following different operations. We present a 45-year-old female with postoperative ileoileal intussusception following a transverse loop colostomy for sigmoid volvulus, in which there was a kinked loop of bowel forming the lead point. The pathogenesis and literature review of this disorder is d...

BACKGROUND Intussusception refers to a condition in which a segment of the intestine invaginates into the lumen of an adjacent segment of the intestine. Postoperative intussusception after gastrointestinal surgery is an uncommon clinical condition, and there is only one case report of small bowel intussusception after rectal cancer surgery. Here, we report a case of spontaneous small bowel intu...
