Overview
Intussusception was first mentioned in 1674 by Barbette of Amsterdam. It was described in detail in 1789 by John Hunter. He called it "introssusception" and described it as a rare form of bowel obstruction in adults, in which telescoping of an intestine segment occurs into another segment of intestine. In 1871, a case of intussusception in a child was operated upon by Sir Jonathan Hutchinson.
