DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF INTESTINAL INTUSSUSCEPTION IN CHILDREN
Abstract
The aim of this study was to improve methods of diagnosis and treatment of intestinal intussusception in children. For this purpose, we analyzed the medical records of 116 children with the above pathologywho were treated in the period from 2000 to 2024 in thespecialized children's surgical clinic of SamaraState Medical University. These patients were divided into two groups: the controlgroup, including 46 patients (39.7%), underwent pneumoirrigoscopy. In the main group, 70 children (60.3%) were
treated with hydroechocolonography under ultrasound control starting from 2014. The use of hydroechocolonography has shown its effectiveness, in most cases, patients managed to straighten the invaginate conservatively, attempts to straighten it were sometimes carried out up to several times, and some patients who were admitted later than a day were successfully used this method. Thus, the use of hydroechocolonography is preferable, especially in cases where there are no signs of peritonitis, it is preferable, while radiation exposure to the patient and staff is excluded.
