title: Postoperative intussusception after vaginal vault suspension.
abstract: Postoperative intussusception in the adult is a rarely reported and poorly understood condition. Presented is the case of a patient developing incomplete small bowel obstruction after an uneventful vaginal vault suspension. Jejunojejunal intussusception, requiring resection, was found at celiotomy. Intussusception must be considered in treating patients developing postoperative intestinal obstruction.
