    Pediatric intussusception reduction using barium enema is most successful with early diagnosis and experienced specialists. Success rates declined when less experienced residents performed the procedure, highlighting the need for expertise in pediatric radiology.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Intussusception is a common surgical emergency in children.
    • Barium enema is a primary method for diagnosis and non-operative reduction.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review intussusception cases and analyze factors affecting barium enema reduction success.
    • To compare outcomes across multiple studies over an 18-year period.

    Main Methods:

    • Meta-analysis of 188 pediatric intussusception cases from 4 studies.
    • Evaluation of the role of early diagnosis, surgical consultation, and radiologist experience.

    Main Results:

    • Successful barium enema reduction rates varied, peaking at 72% in 1972-1974.
    • A subsequent decline to 56% success was linked to the involvement of less experienced radiology residents.

    Conclusions:

    • Early pediatrician diagnosis and pediatric surgeon involvement are crucial for successful intussusception management.
    • The experience level of pediatric radiologists significantly impacts the success rate of barium enema reduction.
