The treatment of intussusception in adults is different. In this trial, we have presented intussusception cases in adults that were treated and followed up in our department. The records of 31 adult intussusception cases surgically treated in our department between January 1993 and July 2012 were evaluated retrospectively. Among the 31 adult cases of intussusception that were treated during a period of 19years, 10 were men, and 21 were women. The mean age was determined as 39.7 ± 5.3. The presentation symptom was abdominal pain in all the patients. Failure to pass gas or feces was observed in 23 patients (74.2%); nausea and vomiting, in 22 patients (70.9%); hematochezia, in 16 patients (51.6%); and weight loss, in 3 patients (9.6%). The mean duration of symptoms was 4.8days. Abdominal tenderness was found in all the patients. Muscular defense and rebound tenderness were determined in 13 patients (41.9%). Findings of intussusception were found in 80.9% of patients examined by abdominal ultrasonography and in 63.1% of cases examined by computerized tomography. Resection of the intussuscepted bowel segment was performed in 87% of the patients. In conclusion, intussusception in adults is a rare clinical entity. Intussusception should be considered in the differential diagnosis in patients presenting with spasmodic abdominal pain, especially in cases with intestinal obstruction. The recommended surgical method is en bloc resection of the intussuscepted segment in cases suspected to carry a risk of malignancy.
