The authors have developed a portable device for insufflation of air reliably at pressures accepted as safe for effective reduction of intussusception in children under fluoroscopic guidance. The results of reduction with the device were equal to those by saline enema reduction under ultrasound guidance.

Postoperative intussusception is a rare complication after various kinds of operations, the incidence of POI is 0.01–0.25 % of children following laparotomy. We reported and analyzed a case of a patient who developed postoperative intussusception following laparotomy for Nissen fundoplication.Postoperative intussusception differs from the other cases of invagination with respect to the pathogen...

Gastroesophageal intussusception is a rare pathology characterized by an acute or intermittent invagination of the stomach into the lumen caudal to the thoracic esophagus, the pathogenesis is not well understood, although it is likely multifactorial. The mortality is high, associated with a late diagnosis and a rapid deterioration. A 4-month-old male domestic shorthair kitten presented for eval...

Background: Intussusception is one of the most common abdominal emergencies in children. While majority childhood intussusceptions are ilecolic and idiopathic, small bowel rare a pathological trigger often blamed for etiology. Ultrasonography commonly used diagnostic tool diagnosis intussusception.
 Objectives: To determine auxiliary criteria ultrasonography differentiation based on ultras...

INTRODUCTION Intussusception is a potentially life-threatening condition, and a frequent cause of bowel obstruction during the first two years of life. We hypothesized that patients who were transferred from outside community hospitals, or OSH, without tertiary care capabilities for pediatric services to a large academic children's hospital with intussusception were more likely to require opera...

Intussusception is a rare cause of postoperative intestinal obstruction in adults. Many retrograde intussusceptions occur during the period following gastrectomy. A 77-year-old woman visited our hospital because of detected gastric adenocarcinoma. She received radical total gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy. On the fifth postoperative day, she complained of abdominal pain, and we f...

Intussusception in adults is a rare phenomenon involving the colon in approximately 20% of cases. A 65-year-old man was hospitalized with anorexia, anemia, dehydration, and melena. Digital rectal examination revealed a palpable mass approximately 5 cm from the anal verge. The mass moved between the rectosigmoid colon and the rectum below the peritoneal reflection during radiographic examination...

Intussusception is a common cause of intestinal obstruction and colicky abdominal pain in the children, particularly infants, the commonest being the ileocolic variety with colocolic variety being a very rare entity. We present a case of colocolic intussusception in a 13-year-old boy which is otherwise seen in adults, precipitated by colonic malignancies. The patient presented with acute abdomi...

Jejunojejunal intussusception is a rare complication of jejunostomy, and its preoperative diagnosis and surgical treatment have not been reported. A 78-year-old man suffered from vomiting off and on after emergency exploratory laparotomy with omentoplasty for perforated duodenal ulcer. He also received Witzel jejunostomy for early feeding. Ileus developed postoperatively and plain X-ray of the ...

Barium enema hydrostatic reduction was carried out for eight patients with Intussusception over a six-month period There were five successes (62%) and three failures. There were no mortality or complications arising out of this procedure. The technique is discussed This procedure offers many advantagesover surgicalreduction. However, it is not a substitute for surgery which is still indicated i...
