Paediatric postoperative intussusception revisited

Abstract

Postoperative intussusception is an infrequent cause of intestinal obstruction in children. During the past 5 years in the Department of Paediatric Surgery, we encountered three cases of this uncommon problem in three entirely different situations. We report our cases with a brief review of the literature.
