    Abstract:
    An 85-year-old man was hospitalized for a right greater trochanteric fracture. Rectal intussusception was found by diagnostic imaging but left untreated because of minor gastrointestinal symptoms. As a result of work-up for persistent mucous stool, he was diagnosed with sigmoid colon cancer with intussusception. The intussusception could not be reduced during barium enema examination but could undergo elective laparoscopic surgery with a good postoperative course. Adult intussusception may be asymptomatic and require no emergency treatment. In such a case, elective surgery can be performed. Many facilities employ laparotomy as a standard of care for intussusception. With the recent technological advances in endoscopic surgeries, laparoscopic surgery can be considered as a treatment option.
