The consequences of jejunoileal bypass include not just metabolic derangements, though the frequency and severity of these problems have led to the procedure being abandoned in the treatment of morbid obesity, but a variety of mechanical complications as well. In this report, a new mechanical complication is presented: Intussusception of the defunctionalized ileum into the sigmoid colon, an intussusception caused by malignant lymphoma of the ileum. Because the patient had pain but no evidence of obstruction, the ileal tumor was fortuitously discovered during flexible sigmoidoscopy.

Distal bowel evacuation was studied by cinedefecography in 85 women with obstinate constipation, tenesmus, and incomplete evacuation in whom a diagnosis of internal rectal intussusception was clinically suspect. Sixty-five patients showed radiographic evidence of intussusception--mostly of the distal rectum, without rectosacral separation. Patients with distal intussusception who did not respond to nonoperative measures were treated by Delorme's transrectal excision with excellent results. Internal rectal intussusception is a real and demonstrable entity which may be symptomatically disabling and whose documentation may be integral to effective and anatomically specific treatment. The syndromes of perineal descent, solitary rectal ulcer, levator syndrome and so-called recurrent hemorrhoids may be diagnostic intermediaries in the evolution of internal rectal intussusception.

Anorectal disorders that disturb normal defecation are described, especially intussusception of the rectum (internal procidentia). A review of 190 patients, half of whom were treated operatively and the other half conservatively, is presented. Diagnostic procedures, symptoms, and indications for operations are evaluated. We believe that intussusception of the rectum is a relatively common cause of difficult emptying of the rectum and, when the correct diagnosis is established, operation presents a fair chance for improvement.

Malignant fibrous histiocytoma, a tumor of mesenchymal tissue, is being reported with increased frequency. However, no cases of primary tumors involving the gastrointestinal tract have yet been described. This report documents a case in which the patient clinically manifested a colonic obstruction associated with intussusception. Following radical resection of the mass, close re-evaluation after one year has shown no evidence of tumor recurrence.

We present a case of adult intussusception with autoamputation and preservation of bowel continuity. Our patient, a 65-year-old man, passed a 65-cm segment of large bowel per anus with spontaneous recovery and with a two-month follow-up free of symptoms secondary to the intussusception. Mesenteric ischemia secondary to angiography with distal embolization two weeks prior to the event may have been a precipitating factor in this unusual form of intussusception.

The role of ultrasound scanning in the diagnosis of cancer of the colon under emergency conditions such as intestinal obstruction, perforation or, more rarely, heavy colonic bleeding, is discussed. In any case, ultrasound scanning can quickly and rationally indicate choices for further assessment when possible. Characteristic ultrasonic images are described, and possible differential diagnoses are discussed briefly. The method seems significantly sensitive, although nonspecific, as it can give analogous images in cases of inflammatory pseudo-tumors, Crohn's disease, and adult intussusception.

Two weeks after appendectomy a right hemicolectomy was performed on a 35-year-old man because of an ileocolic intussusception. The appendiceal stump was the leading point of the intussusception. Ileocolic intussusception is a very rare complication after appendectomy. The clinical symptoms, diagnostic features, and mode of treatment are discussed.

Two cases of intussusception of the appendix are reported--one caused by adenocarcinoma and adenomatous polyp and the other by an endometrioma. Appendiceal intussusception and adenocarcinoma are both uncommon entities and this is the first report of the two occurring concomitantly. Due to variable symptoms, the correct diagnosis of appendiceal intussusception has rarely been made preoperatively. Classification, symptoms, radiographic appearance, and differential diagnosis are discussed, and the authors suggest a new classification for intussusception of the appendix.

Internal intussusception of the rectum is described as a specific clinical entity. A review of the cases treated at the Colon and Rectal Surgery Service at Jewish Hospital is presented, along with the specific diagnostic procedures that have been developed and the surgical technique that allows relatively simple correction of the problem. It is believed that this entity presents commonly to the practitioner of colon and rectal surgery, and specific diagnoses and therapy will be an important addition to the armamentarium of the colon and rectal surgeon.

Geographic location of a population plays a significant role in the interpretation of symptoms of some diseases of the colon. Because diverticular disease of the colon is very rare in the tropics, frank rectal bleeding, which may be suggestive of bleeding diverticulosis when it occurs in a temperate region, is suggestive of a bleeding ileal typhoid ulcer eroding terminal branches of the superior mesenteric artery. Similarly, symptoms suggestive of ulcerative colitis in a temperate region are suggestive of amebic colitis in the tropics. Anatomic variation also plays a part in the nature of some disease processes. The high incidence of freely mobile cecum and ascending colon and the freely mobile redundant sigmoid colon, seen in a tropical population, play a part in the frequent occurrence of nontumid intussusception, relatively high incidence of sigmoid volvulus, and relatively high incidence of rectal prolapse seen in the area.
