(a) Gastroduodenal intussusception. The duodenum (D) and air sac (AS) are readily visible at the surgical site. The cranial (Cr) and caudal (Cd) directions of the snake are identified. (b) Esophagogastric intussusception. After the gastrotomy, adhesions (A) are identified between the esophagus (E) and the stomach’s serosa (Se). The hypertrophied gastric mucosa (M) is visible.
