Recurrent intussusception: causes, symptoms and treatment

Recurrent intussusception (i. intestinorum recidiva) is a disease in which one section of the intestine (intussusception) penetrates into another section (invaginum), which leads to circulatory problems, swelling, and can cause peritonitis and shock.

With recurrent intussusception, the symptoms of the disease recur after surgery and the presence of clinical remission for a certain time.

The causes of recurrent intussusception are not always clear, but it is often associated with the presence of abnormalities of the intestine, its length and location, as well as improperly performed surgery during the initial treatment.

The main symptom of recurrent intussusception is acute abdominal pain, which can occur suddenly and worsen over time. In addition, the patient may experience nausea, vomiting, constipation or diarrhea, and increased body temperature.

To diagnose recurrent intussusception, various research methods are used, including x-ray and ultrasound, computed tomography and endoscopy.

Treatment of recurrent intussusception may include conservative methods such as fluid resuscitation, antispasms and antibiotics, and surgical methods such as laparoscopic or open bowel resection.

However, it should be noted that recurrent intussusception is quite difficult to treat, so it is important to monitor the patient’s condition after treatment and undergo regular examinations to avoid recurrence of the disease.

In conclusion, recurrent intussusception is a serious condition that requires prompt diagnosis and treatment. However, today there is no single optimal treatment method for this disease, so each case of intussusception should be considered individually, depending on the characteristics of the individual patient.

Intussusception is a medical specialty that involves proctologists, gastroenterologists and surgeons. A certain type of volvulus or protrusion of one intestine into the lumen of another intestine is described. Recurrent and progressive forms of the disease may require surgical treatment to avoid complications. It is one of the most common cases of intestinal obstruction. And the consequences of this pathology can be quite serious, even death.
