Retrograde Intussusception of Distal Limb of Loop Ileostomy: A Rare Case Report and Review of Literature

Stoma related complications affect the quality of life and may require another intervention for correction. Intussusception of either limb through a stoma is a rare complication which can be easily missed. Delay in presentation and diagnosis complicates the matter, necessitates laparotomy and resection of more bowel, ultimately increases the morbidity of the patient. Distal limb usually is empty and collapsed because of minimal function. Distal limb complications are rare. We report a case of intussusception of distal limb through loop ileostomy, which was diagnosed early and managed through local exploration.
