Postoperative intussusception after incidental appendicectomy

Y Hamada et al. Pediatr Surg Int. 2002 May.

Abstract

Postoperative intussusception of the appendiceal stump is a rare complication of appendicectomy. We report an infant who developed an intussusception of the appendiceal stump 2 days following an appendicectomy performed during a right inguinal herniotomy as a day case. The intussusception was diagnosed on ultrasonography and was to be treated laparoscopically, but spontaneous reduction occurred during induction of general anesthesia.
