Another option in surgical treatment of intussusceptions

Abstract

<p>An intussusception is the enfolding of one segment of the intestine within another. An infant presented with Abd. Pain, constipation , and current jelly stool of 40 h duration. Barium enema failed to reduce the intussusception, thus laparatomy was done, milking of the intestine was failed and the seros started to rapture, thus a longitudinal incision was made in the ascending colon and by a finger an intralumenal reduction was done. Approximately 10% of affected children require surgical intervention, ether by squeezing the intestine to push the inner segment or by resection the gangrenous or not reducible intestine .This procedure is another option if there is difficulties in squeezing the intestine, but under certain conditions, 1- the bowel is healthy, 2- the intussusception is short segment.</p><p>An intussusception is the enfolding of one segment of the intestine within another.
