In infants with partially reduced intussusception, delaying surgery for repeat air enema reduction is safe if the child is stable. Ultrasound confirms intussusception persistence, guiding further treatment to avoid surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Intussusception reduction aims to avoid surgical morbidity.
  • Fluoroscopy and ultrasound techniques are evolving for diagnosis and monitoring.

Observation:

  • Two infants with partial intussusception reduction after initial air enema.
  • Patients remained asymptomatic and clinically stable post-initial attempt.

Findings:

  • Deferred laparotomy allowed for repeat air enema attempts.
  • Sonography confirmed persistent intussusception before subsequent enemas.
  • Successful reduction achieved after multiple enemas over 20-24 hours, avoiding surgery.

Implications:

  • Suggests delaying surgery in stable infants with partial intussusception allows for further enema reduction attempts.
