Summary
Optimal surgical treatment for adult intussusception varies by location. Enteric intussusception may involve reduction and resection, while colonic intussusception requires en bloc resection to prevent tumor spread.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology
- Surgical Oncology
- Abdominal Surgery
Background:
- Adult intussusception is rare, leading to controversial optimal treatment strategies.
- Determining the appropriate surgical procedure for adult intussusception is crucial.
Purpose of the Study:
- To determine the appropriate surgical procedure for adult intussusception.
- To analyze the etiology, location, and outcomes of adult intussusception.
Main Methods:
- Systematic literature search of PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science (1980-2016).
- Inclusion of adult patients (>15 years) with intussusception treated surgically or conservatively.
- Analysis of pooled data from 40 retrospective case series involving 1229 patients.
Main Results:
- Malignant tumors (32.9%), benign tumors (37.4%), and idiopathic causes (15.1%) were identified.
- Enteric (49.5%), ileocolic (29.1%), and colonic (19.9%) were the main locations.
- Malignancy rates were higher in colonic (46.5%) and ileocolic (36.9%) intussusception compared to enteric (22.5%).
- En bloc resection without reduction is recommended for colonic intussusception due to high malignancy rates.
- Postoperative complications and mortality rates were 22.1% and 5.2%, respectively.
Conclusions:
- Enteric intussusception management: reduction followed by resection.
- Colonic intussusception management: en bloc resection without reduction.
- A selective approach is recommended due to intermediate forms.
- Surgery remains the primary treatment for adult intussusception.

In statistics, several tools are used to interpret the data. Measures of central tendency represent the characteristics of the data, such as mean, median, and mode. Additionally, measures of variance like standard deviation and range are used to find the spread of data from the mean. Relative standing measures the distance between data locations. Commonly used measures of relative standings are percentile, z score, and quartiles.

Data are individual items of information obtained from a population or sample. Data may be classified as qualitative (categorical), quantitative continuous, or quantitative discrete. Because it is not practical to measure the entire population in a study, researchers use samples to represent the population. A random sample is a representative group from the population chosen by using a method that gives each individual in the population an equal chance of being included in the sample. Random...

14.7K
Scientists always try their best to record measurements with the utmost accuracy and precision. However, sometimes errors do occur. These errors can be random or systematic. Random errors are observed due to the inconsistency or fluctuation in the measurement process, or variations in the quantity itself that is being measured. Such errors fluctuate from being greater than or less than the true value in repeated measurements. Consider a scientist measuring the length of an earthworm using a...

01:09Directing Effect of Substituents: meta-Directing Groups
5.9K
Substituents on the benzene ring that direct an incoming electrophile to undergo substitution at the meta position are called meta directors. All meta directors either have a positive charge on the atom directly bonded to the ring or a partial positive charge. These groups function by withdrawing electrons from the ring through inductive and resonance effects. Consider the carbocation intermediates formed upon the addition of an electrophile on nitrobenzene at the...

01:17Systematic Sampling Method
12.7K
Sampling is a technique to select a portion (or subset) of the larger population and study that portion (the sample) to gain information about the population. Data are the result of sampling from a population. The sampling method ensures that samples are drawn without bias and accurately represent the population. Because measuring the entire population in a study is not practical, researchers use samples to represent the population of interest.

The atomic mass of an element varies due to the relative ratio of its isotopes. A sample's relative proportion of oxygen isotopes influences its average atomic mass. For instance, if we were to measure the atomic mass of oxygen from a sample, the mass would be a weighted average of the isotopic masses of oxygen in that sample. Since a single sample is not likely to perfectly reflect the true atomic mass of oxygen for all the molecules of oxygen on Earth, the mass we obtain from this...
