description

Most cases of ileocolic intussusception are reduced by imaging-guided air or fluid enema. If unsuccessful, operative intervention is necessary. The laparoscopic approach allows inspection of the bowel, identification of intraabdominal pathology, and achieves reduction of the intussuscepted bowel in most cases. The procedure requires the combination of slow and gradual traction as well as “rolling” the cecum distally. If unsuccessful, the bowel can be delivered through an extended umbilical incision for extracorporeal manipulation, or resection if this should be necessary.
