This case study details a rare instance of enterogastric intussusception following Billroth II-gastrectomy. Prompt surgical intervention led to complete recovery, highlighting the importance of timely diagnosis and treatment for this surgical complication.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Case Reports
  • Abdominal Surgery

Background:

  • Billroth II-gastrectomy is a common procedure for peptic ulcer disease.
  • Complications can arise, including rare instances of intussusception.
  • Braun's W-anastomosis is a technique used to connect the jejunum after gastrectomy.

Observation:

  • A patient developed enterogastric intussusception post-Billroth II-gastrectomy.
  • The intussusception involved the efferent small bowel loop with a Braun's W-anastomosis.
  • The incarcerated jejunal loop showed loss of viability.

Findings:

  • Segmental small bowel resection was necessary due to compromised jejunal viability.
  • The patient achieved total recovery after surgical management.

  • Adult intestinal intussusception diagnosis and treatment were reviewed.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the potential for rare but serious complications after gastric surgery.
    • Early recognition and surgical intervention are crucial for favorable outcomes in intussusception.
    • Understanding the nuances of post-gastrectomy anatomy is vital for preventing and managing such events.
