Distal ileal necrosis: right ileo-colic intussuscepted anastomosis as an alternative to ileostomy.

Introduction: The technique of ileo-right colic intussuscepted anastomosis creating a neo-ileo-colic valve, was first described by Ribault in 1989 and has been shown to be of value in patients with typhoid ileal perforation as well as in other non-cancerous lesions of the terminal ileum. This technique is simple and rapid, and avoids ileostomy and/or ileo-cecal resection. The goal of this case-series was to describe the technique of ileo-right colic intussuscepted anastomosis as an alternative to ileostomy.
