Ultrasound-guided reduction of ileocolic intussusception in children

Abstract: Objective -To determine the success rate of the newly introduced method of ultrasound guided hydrostatic reduction in detected ileocolic intussusception by retrospective analysis. Materials and methods -Analysis was performed on all diagnosed ileocolic intussusceptions during the period of December 2013 to November 2015 at the Department for pediatric Radiology of the Children's Hospital Zagreb. In this period of time 34 patients were diagnosed with ileocolic intussusception. Ultrasound guided hydrostatic redu… Show more

“…Ultrasound-guided hydrostatic reduction is a safe option and the gold standard of non-invasive treatment for infants and children with a high success rate in the diagnosis and treatment of ileocolic intussusception in both early and recurrent episodes [10], [2]. Ultrasound-guided hydrostatic reduction is the most effective non-operative treatment modality for this condition, has a high success rate, is simple and safe because the entire procedure is performed with real-time ultrasound without the danger of radiation to infants and children, time-saving, costeffective, prevents radiation exposure in children, and causes almost no complications and minimal hospitalization time [11], [12], [13]. Ultrasound-guided hydrostatic reduction is performed by a radiologist using a saline solution or saline enema at body temperature with a pressure of 100-120 cm H2O per rectum and waiting until the intussusceptum decreases or retrogrades.…”
