ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To assess the success rate and efficacy of US-guided hydrostatic reduction in children with intussusception. MATERIALS andMETHODS:
We retrospectively evaluated the ultrasonographic findings and clinical features of 121 children (MF=8041, mean age= 18 months) who underwent US-guided hydrostatic reduction between November, 2002 and February, 2007 for the diagnosis and treatment of intussusception.RESULTS:
The 121 patients underwent 147 procedures, including recurred cases. Successful reduction was achieved in 132 cases (89.8% success rate), as confirmed by post-procedure ultrasonography and clinical findings. Emergency operations were performed in the 10 (6.8%) cases of irreducible intussusceptions, 8 of ileocolic type and 2 of ileoileal type. Perforation occurred in 4 cases (2.7%), and seizure in 1 case during the procedure (0.7%).CONCLUSION:
US-guided hydrostatic reduction is a safe and effective tool for the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric intussusception.
