Hello @jackie55 ,
I'm glad you found Mayo Clinic Connect and I welcome you. I do not have experience with this disorder but I know there are a lot of different conditions which it occurs. It is more common in children than adults. It can be emergency surgery if certain conditions exist, such as if the blood supply is cut off or if there is obstruction. Sometimes it can be corrected with a type of enema. In the following case study the patient was released after 7 days post operative stay. This was a 2004 case study, at first glance, and because it is rare there may not be many actual cases documented on the internet. I hope this is helpful as I don't know any of the circumstances in regards to your question. I would invite other Connect members to offer any opinion regarding to @jackie55 question.

Please read the above case study and let me know if this is similar to what you inquired about.
Best wishes,
Von @vdouglas
