Abstract
Three cases of ceco-colonic intussusception following inversion append ectomy are presented. In each case, an inverted ischemic appendicular remnant acted as lead point. Initial operation in all cases was a fund oplication undertaken for symptomatic gastroesophageal reflux with app endicular inversion performed incidentally. Technical considerations o f inversion appendectomy and use in patients with enteric neurologic d erangements is discussed.
