Jejunogastric Intussusception as a Delayed Complication Following Laparoscopic Pancreatoduodenectomy

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Jejunogastric intussusception is a rare yet potentially serious complication following gastric surgery. Its occurrence after pancreaticoduodenectomy (Whipple procedure) is infrequently documented in the literature. Here, we present the case of a 41-year-old patient who developed jejunogastric intussusception three years following pancreaticoduodenectomy performed for a neuroendocrine tumor. The diagnosis was confirmed by computed tomography and upper endoscopy. The condition was successfully managed via exploratory laparoscopy. To our knowledge, this report describes the first case of jejunogastric intussusception following laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy, highlighting successful management using the same minimally invasive approach. A review of the relevant literature is included to contextualize this uncommon complication.
