Intussusception is a common pediatric emergency that causes significant morbidity and mortality, particularly in low- to middle-income countries. The laparoscopic management of intussusception following failed non-invasive methods remains a topic of debate. This study aims to evaluate the long-term outcomes of minimally invasive approaches for intussusception.

Introduction: Recent quality improvement (QI) initiatives indicate that pediatric patients with uncomplicated ileocolic intussusception can be safely discharged from the emergency department (ED) after fluoroscopic reduction. These programs improve patient experience and reduce cost. We sought to build on these efforts by developing a QI initiative at our own institution that included patients transferred from a satellite campus and focused on iterative improvement of our treatment pathway based on continual reassessment of our processes and data.

Intussusception, the invagination of a bowel segment into an adjacent segment, occurs in 5% of adult patients with an obstruction of the bowel. It is often seen as a result of obstructive defecation syndrome or malignancy. However, a sigmoidal malignancy as lead point is rare.

Background: Intestinal lipoma is considered the most common benign tumor that causes intussusception. This retrospective case-control study aimed to present the clinical and multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) features between intestinal lipomas with and without intussusception and examine risk factors that predict intussusception caused by intestinal lipomas.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 281 adult patients diagnosed with intestinal lipoma by radiologists using whole-abdominal MDCT between January 2015 and August 2022.
