Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Medical Device Innovation

Background:

  • Intussusception is a common surgical emergency in children.
  • Current reduction methods can be complex and require assistance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a new, user-friendly device for pneumatic reduction of intussusception.
  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of this novel device in pediatric cases.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a reusable, hand-held pressure gauge and insufflator.
  • Connection to a disposable enema tip and tubing for one-handed operation.
  • Evaluation of the device in 50 cases of suspected intussusception.

Main Results:

  • Successful reduction in 19 out of 22 confirmed intussusception cases.
  • The device allows for maximized operator control during the air reduction procedure.
  • Demonstrated practicality, simplicity, and safety in clinical application.

Conclusions:

  • The new device offers a practical, simple, and safe approach to intussusception diagnosis and treatment.
  • One-handed operation enhances procedural control for healthcare providers.
  • The device shows promise as an effective tool for managing pediatric intussusception.
