Jejunogastric intussusception diagnosis and management

J Clin Gastroenterol. 1989 Aug;11(4):452-4. doi: 10.1097/00004836-198908000-00021.

Abstract

Jejunogastric intussusception is a rare complication following gastrojejunostomy, Bilroth II partial gastrectomy, and Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy. We report a recent patient with a retrograde gastrojejunal intussusception, the most common of the four anatomic variants of jejunogastric intussusception. It may present acutely as a surgical emergency with ischemic small bowel or chronically, with severe postprandial discomfort. Surgical correction is mandatory although controversy exists as to the most appropriate corrective procedure.
