This study reviewed 41 intussusception cases, finding barium enema effective for reduction in some instances. Surgical intervention was necessary for many, with successful reduction achieved in most surgical cases.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Gastroenterology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Intussusception is a common surgical emergency in infants and children.
  • Early diagnosis and prompt management are crucial for favorable outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report experiences with a series of intussusception cases.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of barium enema and surgical interventions.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 41 consecutive intussusception cases.
  • Analysis of preliminary barium enema and surgical reduction outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Barium enema successfully reduced intussusception in 12 out of 41 cases.
  • Twenty-nine patients underwent surgery, with 23 achieving successful surgical reduction.

  • Bowel resection was required in 6 patients.

    • Conclusions:

    • Barium enema is a viable non-operative treatment option for intussusception.
    • Surgical reduction is effective for intussusception when non-operative methods fail.
