Laparoscopic Assisted Reduction Of Jejuno-Jejunal Intussusception With Resection Of Jejunal Polyp In Children: A Case Series

Jejunojejunal intussusceptions secondary to polyp as a lead point are extremely rare. Only a few cases have been reported in the English literature. Here, we report the case series of two such cases who presented to us as irreducible intussusceptions and were managed successfully by laparoscopic-assisted transumbilical reduction and resection. Thus laparoscopic-assisted management of this rare presentation is feasible even in smaller children.

Anterior urethral valves and diverticulum.

Anterior urethral valves with associated urethral diverticulum is a rare but important cause of infravesical obstructive uropathy in children. This condition can be a cause of significant morbidity and can even lead to end-stage renal disease. This rare condition should be included in the differential diagnosis while evaluating male infants with infravesical obstructive uropathy.
