The condition is not usually immediately life-threatening. The intussusception can be treated with either a barium or water-soluble contrast enema or an air-contrast enema, which both confirms the diagnosis of intussusception, and in most cases successfully reduces it. [14] The success rate is over 80%.
By intussusception a new blood vessel is created by splitting of an existing blood vessel in two. [1] [2] [3] Intussusception occurs in normal development as well as in pathologic conditions involving wound healing, [4] tissue regeneration, inflammation as colitis [5] [6] or myocarditis, [7] lung fibrosis, [8] and tumors [9] [10] amongst others.
Rectocele and recto-rectal intussusception can sometimes be treated by pelvic floor rehabilitation alone, [23] as long as they have not been present for a long time. [23] Larger and more significant examples of these organic/anatomical disorders require surgery to correct since they because contributing causes to ODS by themselves. [ 23 ]
Ventral rectopexy is a surgical procedure for external rectal prolapse, internal rectal prolapse (rectal intussusception), and sometimes other conditions such as rectocele, obstructed defecation syndrome, or solitary rectal ulcer syndrome.

[3] [7] [8] Rates of volvulus in the United States are about 2–3 per 100,000 people per year. [2] [4] Sigmoid and cecal volvulus typically occurs between the ages of 30 and 70. [1] [9] Outcomes are related to whether or not the bowel tissue has died. [2] The term volvulus is from the Latin "volvere"; which means "to roll". [3]
Ravitch served as president of the American Surgical Association in 1983–1984. [2] During the course of his career he published 453 papers, 101 book chapters and 22 books, and was the editor of 20 medical journals. [3]
A rectal prolapse occurs when walls of the rectum have prolapsed to such a degree that they protrude out of the anus and are visible outside the body. [2] However, most researchers agree that there are 3 to 5 different types of rectal prolapse, depending on whether the prolapsed section is visible externally, and whether the full or only partial thickness of the rectal wall is involved.
