Case description

In emergency cases, the surgeon has to evaluate the need
for a resection with immediate or delayed anastomosis,
versus a colostomy with deferred resective treatment.
The choice of the type of operation may depend on the
clinical status of the patient, the condition of the bowel
(e.g., whether it is ischemic or not), the site of
intussusception and of the tumor, the diagnostic certainty
of malignancy, and the experience of the surgeon.
