Ultrasound guided reduction of intussusception by use of saline enema in children-our experience in 58 cases in eastern India
Abstract
Background: Our aim of study is to evaluate the reduction of ileo-colic intussusception by ultrasound guided saline enema in children.
Methods: This is a retrospective study of 58 cases of pediatric ileo-colic intussusception from September 2012 to September 2015 in which USG guided hydro reduction was attempted.
Results: The success rate was 94%. Three cases underwent surgery. No bowel perforation is seen. No aspiration is seen.
Conclusion: USG guided hydro-reduction of intussusception is a safe and effective method for reduction of intussusceptions. It has no radiation risk and has very minimal complication and can be used as routine procedure.
