    Background:

    • Intussusception is rare in adults, with varied presentations.
    • Understanding adult intussusception etiology and management is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review adult intussusception cases over 12 years.
    • To analyze etiology, presentation, and surgical outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of adult intussusception cases.
    • Surgical treatment including reduction and resection.

    Main Results:

    • Ileocolic intussusception was most common.
    • Neoplasms (benign in small bowel, malignant in colon) were frequent causes.
    • 38% of cases had idiopathic etiology.
    • All patients underwent surgery.

    Conclusions:

    • Adult intussusception requires surgical intervention.
    • Etiology varies by location, with neoplasms being significant.
