Abstract
Adult intussusception is a different disease from that encountered in
children with a higher rate of pathological lead points, the majority
of which in the colon are malignant. This has supported a practice of
mandatory laparotomy and en bloc resection without reduction for
colonic adult intussusception. We report three cases of adult colonic
intussusception, which demonstrate a variety of presenting features and
discuss the investigation and treatment of this uncommon condition
