| 摘要 |
Small bowel obstruction is a common problem, especially for patients with previous
abdominal surgery because of possible postoperative adhesions. In contrast to
adhesions, intussusception is an unusual cause of small bowel obstruction in adults.
We report the case of a young adult with intestinal intussusception due to an inverted
Meckel s diverticulum. Preoperative computed tomography showed the target sign
of intestinal intussusception. Laparoscopic examination confirmed the diagnosis, and
segmental resection of the intussusception and anastomosis were performed via an
extended mini-laparotomy incision. The patient had an uneventful postoperative
course and was discharged seven days after surgery. A laparoscopic approach offers a
feasible option for correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment for this situation. |
