Summary
A 66-year-old woman presented with abdominal pain and bloody stools, found to have colon cancer causing intussusception. A right hemicolectomy was successfully performed, leading to a favorable recovery.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology
- Surgical Oncology
Background:
- Intussusception is a rare cause of large bowel obstruction in adults.
- Colonic tumors are the most common underlying cause of intussusception in adults.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report a case of adult intussusception caused by a colonic tumor.
- To highlight the diagnostic and surgical management of this condition.
Main Methods:
- A 66-year-old female patient with acute abdominal symptoms underwent diagnostic imaging (CT scan) and lower endoscopy.
- Emergency surgical intervention was performed, including right hemicolectomy with D3 lymphadenectomy.
- Histopathological analysis of the resected specimen determined tumor staging.
Main Results:
- Abdominal CT revealed right colon intussusception with a solid tumor.
- Lower endoscopy identified a type 1 ascending colon tumor.
- Histopathology confirmed a pT2, pN1a, cM0, pStage IIIa ascending colon tumor.
Conclusions:
- Colonic intussusception in adults warrants prompt investigation for underlying malignancy.
- Surgical resection is the primary treatment for malignant intussusception.
- Early diagnosis and surgical management can lead to favorable outcomes.

01:25Assessment of the Rectum and Anus
1.1K
Evaluating the rectum and anus plays a crucial role in conducting a thorough physical examination of the gastrointestinal system. Although it may be uncomfortable and often embarrassing for the patient, it holds immense diagnostic value, particularly in detecting gastrointestinal diseases and abnormalities. This guide will explain how to perform this assessment using inspection and palpation methods.

Introduction
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.

01:22Appendicitis-I: Introduction
2.2K
The appendix, a small, narrow, blind tube extending from the inferior part of the cecum, is widely regarded as a vestigial organ, having lost much of its original function through evolution. Despite its diminished role, the appendix can become inflamed, a condition known as appendicitis.
Etiology: Appendicitis can arise from various causes, primarily rooted in the obstruction of the appendix lumen. Factors contributing to this obstruction include fecal accumulation, lymphoid hyperplasia and, in...

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.

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:

01:09Large Intestine

The large intestine is divided into three main regions: the cecum, colon, and rectum. Extending from the ileocecal valve to the anus, it frames the small intestine on three sides.
The ileocecal sphincter, a mucous membrane fold, guards the opening from the ileum to the large intestine. This valve permits material from the small intestine to pass into the large intestine. Attached to the ileocecal valve is the cecum. This small pouch, approximately 6 cm long, has a twisted, coiled tube known as...
