A unique late mechanical complication of jejunoileal bypass. 1985

R L Nelson, and L Williams, and C T Bombeck

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.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007077 Ileal Diseases Pathological development in the ILEUM including the ILEOCECAL VALVE. Disease, Ileal,Diseases, Ileal,Ileal Disease
D007082 Ileum The distal and narrowest portion of the SMALL INTESTINE, between the JEJUNUM and the ILEOCECAL VALVE of the LARGE INTESTINE.
D007443 Intussusception A form of intestinal obstruction caused by the PROLAPSE of a part of the intestine into the adjoining intestinal lumen. There are four types: colic, involving segments of the LARGE INTESTINE; enteric, involving only the SMALL INTESTINE; ileocecal, in which the ILEOCECAL VALVE prolapses into the CECUM, drawing the ILEUM along with it; and ileocolic, in which the ileum prolapses through the ileocecal valve into the COLON.

D007581 Jejunoileal Bypass A procedure consisting of the SURGICAL ANASTOMOSIS of the proximal part of the JEJUNUM to the distal portion of the ILEUM, so as to bypass the nutrient-absorptive segment of the SMALL INTESTINE. Due to the severe malnutrition and life-threatening metabolic complications, this method is no longer used to treat MORBID OBESITY.

D011183 Postoperative Complications Pathologic processes that affect patients after a surgical procedure. They may or may not be related to the disease for which the surgery was done, and they may or may not be direct results of the surgery.
