Intussusception secondary to inverted Meckel's diverticulum resulting in intestinal obstruction is rare. The following is a case report that discusses a 29-year-old female who posed diagnostic uncertainty for the treating surgical team and ultimately underwent emergency surgery for the management of intestinal obstruction. Small bowel intussusception was diagnosed preoperatively on abdominal computer tomography (CT). At operation, it was found to be secondary to inverted Meckel's diverticulum with histopathology confirming the diagnosis.
median diameter of the main pancreatic duct was 7 (4-10) mm and 8 (4-10) mm (p 0.16), respectively. Results: All operations in I group were performed laparoscopic. The operating time was 375 (320-501) minutes in I group and 240 (179-280) minutes in II group (p 0,08). Blood loss was 70 (30-200) and 100 (50-450) ml (p 0.5), respectively. The postoperative stay period was 4 (4-8) days in I group and 7 (5-14) days in II group (p 0.45). There was 1 (11.15%) complications in II group. The follow-up was 4 (3-8) months in I group and 4 (3-7) months in II group. Pain relief was complete in all groups. Conclusions: A prospective randomized trial demonstrates advantages of laparoscopic Frey procedure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
