Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Adult intussusception in Turkey revealed that colonic intussusceptions were linked to colon cancer, necessitating resection. Small bowel intussusceptions, however, benefit from initial reduction and subsequent resection.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Intussusception is rare in adults, often presenting with nonspecific symptoms.
  • Identifying the underlying cause is crucial for appropriate management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review adult intussusception cases and analyze underlying pathologies.
  • To determine optimal treatment strategies based on etiology and location.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 22 adult intussusception cases from 1983-1988.
  • Analysis of pathological findings, patient demographics, and treatment outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Underlying pathology identified in 81% of cases.
  • All four colonic intussusceptions were associated with colon carcinoma.

  • One of 18 small bowel intussusceptions was malignant.
  • Common sites included jejunojejunal, ileoileal, and ileocaecal.

    • Conclusions:

    • Resection is recommended for colonic intussusceptions due to high association with malignancy.
    • Small bowel intussusceptions warrant initial surgical reduction followed by limited resection.
    • Determining the underlying cause in adult intussusception is essential for effective treatment.
