Figure 3
Intraoperative view showing the jejunojejunal intussusception with the bowel proximal to this area dilated. There was an intraluminal mass arising from the wall of the jejuno making the lead point of intussusceptions (A). Resection of the jejunal segment bearing the mass (B) with end-to-end jejunojejunal anastomosis was done.
