Abstract

FACTORS DETERMINING OF OPERATIVE REDUCTION IN ACUTE INTUSSUSCETION OF CHILDREN Background: Intussusception is the common cause of small intestinal obstruction in children under two years old. Late diagnosis can lead to a potentially worse condition. This prospective study aims to describe the clinical manifestation and develop the conservative management protocol for acute ileocaecal intussusception in children undertwo years old. Methods: This prospective study was carried out in 118 consecutive patients under two years old. Patients presented with symptoms and signs of acute intestinal obstruction and diagnosis of ileocaecal intussusception confirmed by ultrasound were included in this study. All the patients were managed with either pneumatic reduction or operation. Results: There were 70 boys and 48 girls ranging in age from three months to two years with a median of 12.5 months. Clinical presentation included abdominal pain (100%), vomiting (82.2%), bloody stool (11.9%) and a palpable mass (43.2%). Patients hospitalized with the symptoms and signs less than 24 hours were accounted for 80.5% of cases. The overall success rate of pneumatic reduction was 98.3%. Late hospital admission (≥ 24 hours from illness onset), bloody stool and presenting with the classic triad of symptoms of intussusception were found as the factors which correlated to the surgical management outcome. All patients were well recovery without any complication. The median of postoperative hospital stay was two days for pneumatic reduction group and six days for operation group. Conclusion: Early diagnosis of intussusception contributes the success of pneumatic reduction and reduces the requires of surgical intervention. Key words: intussusception, pneumatic reduction, surgical intervention.
