Abstract:
The ileocolic region is the most common site of intussusception. It occurs mostly in children but can also occur in adults. Ileal tumors and polyps can cause ileocolic intussusception. Inflammatory fibroid polyp (IFP) is one of the rarest benign tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. The most common sites of IFP are the stomach, ileum, colon, duodenum, and esophagus. Small IFPs can be managed endoscopically but larger IFPs and those with complications such as intussusception require surgical resection. We report a case of ileal IFP presenting with small bowel obstruction due to ileocolic intussusception. The patient was successfully treated by surgical excision. The diagnosis of IFP was made based on a histopathological examination of the resected specimen.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease V: Surgical Management
Here are some common surgical interventions for IBD:
Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
