Abstract
Postoperative idiopathic intussusception is considered to be a distinct entity, and has been reported following different
operations. We present a 45-year-old female with postoperative ileoileal intussusception following a transverse loop
colostomy for sigmoid volvulus, in which there was a kinked loop of bowel forming the lead point. The pathogenesis
and literature review of this disorder is discussed.
Key words: postoperative intussusception, lead point, kink, motility disorder
