Abstract
SANTOS, J. P. Vieira dos et al. Invaginação Jejuno-Gástrica: relato de rara complicação em pós-operatório de ressecção gástrica. J Port Gastrenterol. [online]. 2007, vol.14, n.3, pp.150-152. ISSN 0872-8178.
The authors report a case of jejunogastric intussusception, an unusual complication of stomach surgery when the jejunum is used to reestablish digestive transit. A clinical picture of upper intestinal obstruction, epigastric pain and digestive hemorrhage in a patient who has had previous gastric surgery is the most common finding. The type of treatment depends on the clinical presentation and does not completely guarantee that the condition will not recur.
