Abstract:
We analyzed 13 cases of adult intussusceptions, which has been surgically treated, during the period from January 1987 to June 1997. There were 6 benign tumors, 2 malignant tumors and 5 others. The most common presenting symptom was abdominal pain. The types of intussusception were 3 jejuno- jejunal, 4 ileo-ileal, 1 ileocolic, 2 ileo-ileo-colic, and 1 colo-colic, intussusception of the vermiform appendix, and 1 combined type. In the pathlogic findings of the tumors, lipoma was the most common benign tumor and metastatic malignant melanoma was the most common malignant tumor. Other benign conditions were adhesion and granuloma due to tuberculosis. Surgical procedures were manual reduction, small bowel resection and anastomosis, a right hemicolectomy, a partial colectomy, and a polypectomy.
