Background: Internal hernia (IH) is a rare culprit of small bowel obstruction (SBO) with an incidence of < 1%. It poses a considerable diagnostic challenge requiring a high index of suspicion to prevent misdiagnosis, improper treatment, and subsequent morbidity and mortality.
Aim: To determine the clinico-demographic profile, radiological and operative findings, and postoperative course of patients with IH and its association with SBO.
Clinicopathological and radiological characteristics and prediction of survival in colon cancer.

There are various histological characteristics which have been proposed to predict the survival rate in colon cancer. However, there is no definitive model to accurately predict the survival. Therefore, it is important to find out one model for the prediction of survival in colon cancer which may also include the preoperative, and operative factors in addition to histopathology.

- - Intussusception in adults is rare, with ileocolic being the most common type and duodenal intussusception (DI) being the rarest; this study discusses five adult cases of DI, highlighting their presentation, diagnosis, and treatment.
- - The patients, primarily women aged 18-45, mainly presented with gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) and weight loss, all diagnosed via contrast-enhanced CT scans with benign polyps identified as lead points requiring surgical intervention.
- - Surgical treatment varied, with some patients receiving local excision and others undergoing more extensive procedures like pancreaticoduodenectomy; post-operative recovery was generally smooth, emphasizing the importance of anatomical knowledge for managing this complex condition.
