Enterogastric intussusception: a rare postoperative complication.
The authors present a case of postoperative enterogastric intussusception after previous Billroth II-gastrectomy, associated with a Braun's W-anastomosis of the efferent small bowel loop. Loss of viability of the incarcerated jejunal loop required segmental small bowel resection. Total recovery was obtained. Literature is reviewed concerning diagnosis and treatment of adult intestinal intussusception.
