title: Post-operative colocolic intussusception.
abstract: A 2-year-old boy presented with bowel obstruction 5 days after repair of a recurrent epigastric hernia. Pre-operative imaging implicated intussusception as a cause of the obstruction. At operation a gangrenous transverse colocolic intussusception was resected en masse. No clear lead point was seen. Recovery was uneventful.
