What Is Intussusception Surgery?

Intussusception occurs mostly in infants and can also occur in adults. Nesting mostly occurs in the anechoic area. However, in the case of intestinal tumors and other causes, nesting can occur in the small intestine or colon. It can be a simple one-level nesting or a two-level nesting. When the intussusception takes a long time or the intestine is inserted for a long time, the circulation of the mesangial vessels is impaired and intestinal necrosis occurs. When non-surgical reduction of intussusception via air compression enema is unsuccessful, or the onset is more than 24 hours, clinically suspected intestinal necrosis, and adult intussusception should be surgically reset.
