Ileal-ileal intussusception: an unusual complication following enterocystoplasty

Urology. 1996 Jan;47(1):138-9. doi: 10.1016/s0090-4295(99)80401-4.

Abstract

Postoperative ileal-ileal intussusception is an unusual and uncommonly cited complication of bladder augmentation. The preoperative diagnosis is difficult due to the vague clinical findings. We report a case of ileal-ileal intussusception that occurred following gastrocystoplasty in a child. Computed tomography accurately diagnosed the condition preoperatively, and led to early exploratory laparotomy and successful reduction.
