  • Title: Failure of appendectomy to resolve appendiceal intussusception.
    Author: Lipskar A, Telem D, Masseaux J, Midulla P, Dolgin S.
    Journal: J Pediatr Surg; 2008 Aug; 43(8):1554-6. PubMed ID: 18675653.
    Abstract:
    Appendiceal intussusception is a rare entity that primarily affects children. The optimal surgical management is not known. We describe a child with appendiceal intussusception treated by simple appendectomy who suffered recurrent intussusception of the cecum at the base of the appendiceal stump. He was cured by resection of a rim of cecum around the appendiceal staple line. Partial cecectomy with appendectomy may be the most effective operation for appendiceal intussusception.
