| PURPOSE : To assess the success rate and efficacy of US-guided hydrostatic reduction in children with intussusception.
MATERIALS and METHODS : We retrospectively evaluated the ultrasonographic findings and clinical features of 121
children (M:F=80:41, 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. |
