Adult intussusception, a rare condition, is often caused by tumors. Laparoscopic surgery is a viable option for benign cases like lipomas, offering a minimally invasive approach to treat bowel obstruction.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Abdominal Surgery

Background:

  • Adult intussusception is an uncommon condition, frequently associated with a neoplastic lead point requiring surgical intervention.
  • Surgical management aims to relieve intestinal obstruction and exclude malignancy.

Observation:

  • This case report details a patient with adult intussusception.
  • The intussusception was identified as being caused by a lipoma, a benign tumor.

Findings:

  • Laparoscopic surgery was successfully employed for the management of small bowel intussusception.
  • The minimally invasive approach was suitable for a presumed benign etiology like lipoma.

Implications:

  • Minimally invasive surgery, such as laparoscopy, should be considered for adult intussusception when a benign lead point is suspected preoperatively.
