    Insights

    Non-Peutz Jeghers hamartomatous polyps caused jejuno-jejunal intussusception and small bowel obstruction in a child. This case report includes a unique intraoperative video of the reduction process.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Case Reports

    Background:

    • Small bowel intussusception is an uncommon cause of intestinal obstruction in children.
    • Hamartomatous polyps, while rare, can precipitate intussusception.

    Observation:

    • A pediatric patient presented with symptoms of small bowel obstruction.
    • Intussusception was diagnosed, caused by non-Peutz Jeghers hamartomatous polyps.
    • An intraoperative video documented the intussusception reduction.

    Findings:

    • Successful surgical reduction of jejuno-jejunal intussusception secondary to hamartomatous polyps.
    • The case highlights the importance of considering small bowel intussusception in pediatric abdominal emergencies.

    Implications:

    • This report offers a unique educational resource with intraoperative video for understanding and managing this rare condition.
    • Emphasizes the need for vigilance in diagnosing small bowel intussusception in children with persistent abdominal symptoms.

    Keywords:

    Inflammatory Bowel Disease V: Surgical Management

    Surgical interventions for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, are essential in managing symptoms and addressing complications. The selection of surgical procedures is contingent upon the specific conditions and complications that stem from these illnesses.
    Here are some common surgical interventions for IBD:

    Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

    Sigmoidoscopy and laparoscopy are distinct medical procedures that enable physicians to internally inspect different parts of the GI tract. Although they serve different purposes, each is essential for diagnosing and, in some cases, treating various medical conditions.
    Sigmoidoscopy
    Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a flexible sigmoidoscope equipped with a light source and camera to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon. The procedure involves inserting the tube through the anus...

    Endoscopic Procedures III: Video Capsule Endoscopy

    Capsule endoscopy, or wireless or video capsule endoscopy, is a diagnostic procedure for examining the entire gastrointestinal tract. Patients swallow a capsule about the size of a vitamin tablet. The capsule is equipped with a transmitter, a battery, an LED light source, and a color video camera to capture images throughout the gastrointestinal tract. This procedure is particularly useful for diagnosing conditions such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, tumors, polyps, ulcers,...

    Endoscopic Procedures II: Colonoscopy

    The colon, or large intestine, is the final segment of the digestive system. Its primary functions include absorbing water and vitamins produced by gut bacteria and transforming waste from liquid to solid to form stool. In adults, the large intestine is approximately 5 feet long and consists of four main sections:

    Anatomy of the Intestines

    Although digestion of proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids may begin in the stomach, it is completed in the intestine. The absorption of nutrients, water, and electrolytes from food and drink also occurs in the intestine. The intestines can be divided into two structurally distinct organs—the small and large intestines.
    Small Intestines
    The small intestine is an ~7 meter-long tube with an inner diameter of just 2.5 cm. Since most nutrients are absorbed here, the inner lining of the...
