Retrograde Jejunojejunal Intussusception After Gastrectomy: Report of Four Cases.

Abstract

BACKGROUND:

Retrograde intussusception of the small bowel is extremely rare. We experienced four cases of retrograde jejunojejunal intussusception that needed emergency surgery. The aim of the present report was to expand awareness of retrograde jejunojejunal intussusception as an urgent complication following gastrectomy.
