Minimum Invasive Surgery for Appendiceal Intussusception Caused by Isolated Endometriosis; Surgical Technique for an Unreturned Case
This case of endometriosis-induced Type V appendiceal intussusception involved complete inversion of the cecum. Unlike most cases that result in extensive resections, our approach demonstrated the feasibility of less invasive surgery. Endometriosis, although an uncommon cause of intussusception, should be considered in differential diagnoses, and CA125 may be a useful diagnostic marker. This case highlights that minimally invasive techniques, including appendectomy with partial cecal resection, should be prioritized in nonreducible cases without malignancy. Individualized, less invasive interventions offer significant benefits for patient recovery and outcomes.
