Laparoscopic management of an octogenarian adult intussusception caused by an XXXX suspected preoperatively: a case report.

@entity5 @entity1 @entity391 @entity362
Adult intussusception is rare and usually caused by a @entity5 acting as the lead point. Therefore, laparotomy should be considered for the treatment. Laparoscopic procedures for use in cases of adult intussusception have been recently reported; however, there is no consensus regarding the safety and efficacy. Here, we describe a successful case of laparoscopic management of an octogenarian adult intussusception caused by an @entity362 , which was preoperatively suspected. An 87-year-old male presented with progressive @entity391 . Contrast radiography of the small intestine showed an @entity5 , and magnetic resonance imaging indicated a target-like mass, consistent with an ileal intussusception. The @entity1 was suspected with an intussusception due to an @entity362 , and laparoscopic surgery was performed. An approximately 10-cm-long ileal intussusception with a preceding @entity5 was present, and partial resection of the ileum, including the @entity5 , was performed. Macroscopic examination of the excised specimen showed a pedunculated @entity5 measuring 4.0   *   3.5   *   1.9  cm with an uneven surface, yielding a histological diagnosis of @entity362 . The @entity1 had an uneventful recovery and was discharged on postoperative day 8. This successful case showed that laparoscopic surgery can be a useful, safe, and efficacious procedure for adult intussusception, even in octogenarians.
