Abstract:
Intussusception is a form of bowel obstruction caused by telescoping of a bowel segment into the adjacent part. Small bowel (SB) intussusception was previously considered a rare long-term complication of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (REYGB). However, with the rapid increase in the number of bariatric surgeries, the incidence of SB intussusception has been significantly increasing. This condition is potentially life-threatening if not recognized in a timely fashion. Herein, we report a case of retrograde jejuno-jejunal intussusception occurring six years after REYGB.

What is a Mode?
There can be more than one mode in a data set if multiple values have the same highest frequency. For instance, suppose that the Statistics exam scores of 20 students are: 50; 53; 59; 59; 63; 63; 72; 72; 72; 72; 72; 76; 78; 81; 83; 84; 84; 84; 90; 93. Here, the mode is 72, as it occurs most frequently, five times.
A data set with two modes is called bimodal. For example,...
