The Ladd procedure increases the risk of postoperative intussusception (POI) in children. Early reexploration is crucial for children experiencing prolonged ileus after this surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery

Background:

  • The Ladd procedure is a common surgical intervention for intestinal malrotation.
  • Postoperative intussusception (POI) is a known complication following abdominal surgeries in children.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the incidence and predisposing factors of POI after the Ladd procedure.
  • To compare the risk of POI after the Ladd procedure versus other laparotomies.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective case-control study at a tertiary care pediatric hospital.
  • Reviewed 159 patients undergoing the Ladd procedure and compared POI cases with age-matched controls.
  • Compared POI incidence in the Ladd group with 1717 patients undergoing other laparotomies.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • The incidence of POI was 3.1% in the Ladd procedure group, significantly higher than 0.05% in other laparotomies (P<.001).
  • Symptoms of POI appeared at a mean of 7.2 days post-surgery, with 4 out of 5 cases showing partial small bowel obstruction.
  • Children developing POI were less likely to be small for their age (P=.03).

Conclusions:

  • The Ladd procedure is associated with a higher risk of POI in pediatric patients.
  • Prompt investigation and reexploration are recommended for children with prolonged ileus within two weeks post-Ladd procedure.
