Abstract

To study the feasibility and efficacy of ultrasound guided saline reduction of acute intussusception in children who present early. Materials and Methods: Thirty five children with intussusception were subjected to saline reduction. Results: Of the thirty five patients who underwent this procedure, all had complete reduction of ileo-colic intussusception. Two had recurrence after total reduction and re-reduction failed. The patients then underwent laparotomy . Conclusion: Ultrasound guided saline reduction for childhood intussusception is safe and may be an effective alternative method in the non-operative management of intussusception.
