Figure 2

Manual reduction of the intussusception. Manual reduction (‘milking’) of the intussusceptum being done in a distal to proximal direction (light blue arrow). Distally, the now empty sigmoid colon (purple arrow) and descending colon (yellow arrow) are illustrated. More proximally shown is the proximal part of the transverse colon continuous with the ‘free’ ascending colon (red arrow). Note the freedom of the entire colon and the apparent absence of the hepatocolic ligament and hepatic flexure of the colon.
