Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic surgery for pediatric intussusception has recently become more common as an alternative to open surgery. However, the differences in outcomes between laparoscopic and open surgery remain unclear. Thus, this study aimed to compare short-term surgical outcomes and recurrence rates between patients treated with laparoscopic and open surgery for pediatric intussusception. METHODS Patients aged <18 years who underwent laparoscopic (n = 192) and open (n = 416) surgery for intussusception between April 2016 and March 2021 were retrospectively identified using a Japanese nationwide inpatient database. Propensity-score overlap weighting analyses were conducted to compare the outcomes between the laparoscopic and open surgery groups. The outcomes included in-hospital morbidity, reoperation, readmission for intussusception, bowel resection, the diagnosis of Meckel's diverticulum, duration of anesthesia, postoperative length of hospital stay, and total hospitalization costs. RESULTS The laparoscopic surgery group was older, heavier, and had fewer congenital malformations and emergency admissions than the open surgery group did. Overlap weighting analyses showed no significant differences in in-hospital morbidity (odds ratio [95% confidence interval], 0.88 [0.35-2.23]), reoperation (1.88 [0.24-14.9]), readmission for intussusception within 30 days (0.80 [0.12-5.30]) and 1 year (0.90 [0.28-2.93]), bowel resection (0.69 [0.46-1.02]), the diagnosis of Meckel's diverticulum (0.97 [0.50-1.90]), duration of anesthesia (difference, 11 [-1-24] minutes), postoperative length of stay (difference, -1.9 [-4.2-0.4] days), or total hospitalization costs (difference, 612 [ -746-1970] US dollars) between the groups. CONCLUSIONS In this large nationwide cohort, no significant differences in outcomes were observed between laparoscopic and open surgery. Laparoscopic surgery is an acceptable treatment option for pediatric intussusception. LEVELS OF EVIDENCE Level III.

Afr J Paediatr Surg 2023; 20:171-175.

Abstract
Introduction Intussusception is a common cause of intestinal obstruction in infants and children. Ultrasound-guided hydrostatic reduction (USGHR) with saline is considered the gold standard with a success rate of more than 90%. Hydrostatic reduction with laparoscopic assistance has its own advantage of direct visualisation, assessment of bowel vascularity and controlled distension. The choice of procedure depends on available resources and surgeon's preference. This study aims to compare the outcomes of the two methods, i.e., laparoscopic-assisted hydrostatic reduction (LAHR) and USGHR under general anaesthesia (GA). Materials and Methods This was a prospective study carried out at two different centres over a 3-year period. All patients of intussusception were managed by either hydrostatic reduction with saline under ultrasound guidance or hydrostatic reduction with laparoscopic assistance. Both the procedures were done in operation theatre under GA. The operating time and amount of fluid used for reduction were noted. Results There were 27 patients in Group 1 (USGHR) and 20 patients in Group 2 (LAHR). The two groups were similar in terms of demographic parameters. The various outcomes such as number of attempts for reduction, fluid required for reduction, time to start oral feeds, complication and length of stay were similar in both the groups. The mean operating time for Group 1 was 19.4 ± 4.5 min and for Group 2 was 34.9 ± 4.8 min (P < 0.001). Conclusion Both the procedures fare equally in terms of outcome except mean operating time, therefore, LAHR is a good alternative to USGHR in resource-poor nations where logistics of intraoperative ultrasound may not be present.

Abstract
We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare the efficacy and safety between laparoscopic reduction (LR) and open reduction (OR) of intussusception in infants and children. Literature searches were conducted to identify studies having compared LR and OR for children with intussusception failed to enema reduction. Parameters such as operative time, time to oral intake, length of hospital stay, overall postoperative complications, and recurrence were pooled and compared by meta-analysis. Among the 502 pediatric participants included in the 11 studies, 275 had received LR and 227 received OR. There were shorter length of hospital stays and time to oral intake with the LR approach compared with OR. However, no significant difference was found between LR and OR in the secondary outcome, such as the overall postoperative complications and recurrence. LR is a feasible, safe, and effective surgical procedure alternative to OR for pediatric intussusception. Compared with OR, LR has the advantage of shorter hospital stay and faster time to oral intake. Besides, the overall postoperative complications may be slightly lower in LR. We conclude that LR should be considered an acceptable option for children.

Abstract
Intussusception is a condition in which a segment of the gastrointestinal tract invaginates into the lumen of another segment. Adult intussusception is less common than juvenile intussusception in terms of cause, appearance, and treatment. Because the clinical picture can be quite atypical and difficult to interpret, it is frequently misdiagnosed at first. Herein, we report the case of a previously healthy 23‐year‐old female patient who presented to the Emergency Department (ED) with acute abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea for 1 day following her last menstrual period. Ileocecal intussusception was discovered throughout the investigation. She was rushed for open abdominal surgery. Meckel's diverticulum was found as a pathologic lead point in the resected specimen, with no evidence of malignancy. Although intussusception is rare in adults, it should be considered in patients who have nonspecific stomach pain.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Despite its wide acceptance, the superiority of laparoscopic versus open pediatric surgery has remained controversial. There is still a call for well-founded evidence. We reviewed the literature on studies published in the last three decades and dealing with advantages and disadvantages of laparoscopy compared to open surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS Studies comparing laparoscopic versus open abdominal procedures in children were searched in PubMed/MEDLINE. Reports on upper and lower gastrointestinal as hepatobiliary surgery and on surgery of pancreas and spleen were included. Advantages and disadvantages of laparoscopic surgery were analyzed for different types of procedures. Complications were categorized using the Clavien-Dindo classification. RESULTS A total of 239 studies dealing with 19 types of procedures and outcomes in 929,157 patients were analyzed. We identified 26 randomized controlled trials (10.8%) and 213 comparative studies (89.2%). The most frequently reported advantage of laparoscopy was shorter hospital stay in 60.4% of studies. Longer operative time was the most frequently reported disadvantage of laparoscopy in 52.7% of studies. Clavien-Dindo grade I to III complications (mild-moderate) were less frequently identified in laparoscopic compared to open procedures (80.3% of studies). Grade-IV complications (severe) were less frequently reported after laparoscopic versus open appendectomy for perforated appendicitis and more frequently after laparoscopic Kasai's portoenterostomy. We identified a decreased frequency of reporting on advantages after laparoscopy and increased reporting on disadvantages for all surgery types over the decades. CONCLUSION Laparoscopic compared with open pediatric surgery seems to be beneficial in most types of procedures. The number of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) remains limited. However, the number of reports on disadvantages increased during the past decades.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare postoperative complications of laparoscopic surgery (LS) with open surgery (OS) in surgical intussusception patients. METHODS From March 2015 to February 2018, infants between 6 to 24 months old had the clinical and sono-graphical signs of intussusception enrolled in this double-blind, randomized clinical trial. We divided surgical intussusception patients into two groups. In the LS group, we evaluated patients by direct laparoscopic observation, on-table hydrostatic enema, and mechanical reduction of intussusception. In the OS group, we performed the conventional technique. These patients were followed for 2 years after procedures for comparison of postoperative complications between the two groups. RESULTS We had 52 patients who needed surgical exploration (26 in each group). There were four (15%) and seven (27%) patients with self-reduced intussusception in LS and OS groups, respectively. The conversion rate was 31% (eight cases). Five cases (19%) in the LS group and four cases (15%) in the OS group needed bowel resections. Operating time was longer in the LS group (P ≤ 0.006), and the postoperative complication rate was higher in the OS group (P ≤ 0.021). DISCUSSION Laparoscopy is a screening tool to determine the need for OS in surgical intussusception patients. Laparoscopy reduces the incidence of OS and its complications.

Abstract
PURPOSE Manual intussusception reduction can sometimes be accomplished through the existing umbilical incision after a laparoscopic attempt has failed. We compared the safety and efficacy of open transumbilical intussusception reduction (OTIR) and laparoscopic reduction (LAP). METHODS We prospectively enrolled children diagnosed with intussusception at our hospital from June 2014 to December 2018. Clinically stable patients who failed pneumatic intussusception reduction were randomly assigned to the OTIR or LAP group. We compared reduction rates, complications, operative times, and surgery costs between the two groups. RESULTS Fifty-one of 451 patients with an intussusception met the study criteria. In the OTIR group (n = 27), 22 intussusceptions were successfully reduced, and 5 required incision extension. The mean operative time was 47.7 ± 10.5 min, and mean surgery cost was 1259.74 ± 46.24 US dollars. In the LAP group (n = 24), 5 patients required conversion to open surgery. Three of the 5 cases were resolved by OTIR, while the other 2 needed incision extension. The mean operative time was 68.63 ± 17.13 min, and mean surgery cost was 1750.63 ± 106.98 US dollars. Severe complications did not occur in either group. CONCLUSIONS OTIR was as safe and effective as LAP and had a shorter operative time and lower surgery cost. OTIR is a good option for intussusception reduction in children. TYPE OF STUDY Treatment study. LEVELS OF EVIDENCE Level I.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The goal of this systematic review by the American Pediatric Surgical Association Outcomes and Evidence-Based Practice Committee was to develop recommendations for the management of ileocolic intussusception in children. METHODS The ClinicalTrials.gov, Embase, PubMed, and Scopus databases were queried for literature from January 1988 through December 2018. Search terms were designed to address the following topics in intussusception: prophylactic antibiotic use, repeated enema reductions, outpatient management, and use of minimally invasive techniques for children with intussusception. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were followed. Consensus recommendations were derived based on the best available evidence. RESULTS A total of 83 articles were analyzed and included for review. Prophylactic antibiotic use does not decrease complications after radiologic reduction. Repeated enema reductions may be attempted when clinically appropriate. Patients can be safely observed in the emergency department following enema reduction of ileocolic intussusception, avoiding hospital admission. Laparoscopic reduction is often successful. CONCLUSIONS Regarding intussusception in hemodynamically stable children without critical illness, pre-reduction antibiotics are unnecessary, non-operative outpatient management should be maximized, and minimally invasive techniques may be used to avoid laparotomy. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level 3-5 (mainly level 3-4) TYPE OF STUDY: Systematic Review of level 1-4 studies.

Abstract
AIM Intussusception in adults is rare and requires surgery in most cases. While abdominal laparoscopic surgery (LS) is becoming more popular, there are few reports on the outcomes of adult intussusception treated with LS. This study compared the feasibility of LS vs open surgery (OS) for adult intussusception. METHOD We reviewed retrospectively the medical records of adult patients with intussusception from three tertiary hospitals between 2000 and 2016. The patients were divided into LS and OS groups, and their surgical outcomes were compared. RESULTS Surgery was indicated in 71 patients with intussusception (41 LS and 30 OS). The median age of the patients was 49.0 and 51.5 years in the LS and OS groups, respectively (P = 0.930). Overall, nine (12.7%) patients had a negative laparotomy or laparoscopy with spontaneous reduction of the intussusception. Conversion to OS from LS was necessary in one patient (2.4%). The operative time and intra-operative and postoperative complication rates were not significantly different. However, there were more serious complications such as bowel perforation and major vessel injury in the LS group. The patients in the LS group had a shorter time to first food intake and hospital stay vs patients in the OS group (4.0 vs 6.0 days, P < 0.001, and 7.0 vs 10.5 days, P < 0.001, respectively). CONCLUSION LS may be feasible for adult intussusception; there may be more severe intra-operative complications than in OS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Air or barium enema reduction is becoming increasingly common and safer for pediatric intussusception. However, little is known about trends of pediatric intussusception requiring surgical intervention in the United States. Methods: National Inpatient Sample database was analyzed from 2005-2014 to identify pediatric (≤18 years) intussusceptions along with procedures such as enema and/or surgical intervention. Trends in the rates of surgical intervention were examined according to encounter-level (age, gender, race, comorbidities) and hospital-level (hospital census region, teaching status) characteristics. Outcomes of pediatric intussusception requiring surgical intervention were analyzed in terms of length of stay and cost of hospitalization. Factors associated with surgical intervention were also analyzed. P value of < 0.05 was considered significant. Results: Out of 21,835 intussusception hospitalizations requiring enema or surgical intervention, 14,415 (66%) had surgical intervention; 90% of which (12,978) had no preceding enema. Surgical intervention rates among intussusception hospitalizations varied by age (highest < 1 year), gender (male > females) and race (Hispanics > Whites and Blacks). During the study period, overall surgical intervention rate remained stable (2.2 to 1.7, P=0.07) although it declined in those under 1 year of age. Children with severe disease, gastrointestinal comorbidities over the age of 4 years had increased odds of surgical intervention, whereas hospitalization in large and urban teaching hospitals had decreased odds of surgical intervention. Length of stay and hospital cost remained stable from 2005-2014. CONCLUSION The rates of surgical intervention and resource utilization for pediatric intussusception remained stable from 2005-2014, however they declined significantly in infants. The proportion of intussusception hospitalization requiring surgery remains high and further studies are needed to explore the possible factors.

Abstract
Background: Laparoscopy has been widely used in treatment of pediatric intussusception. However, controversy still exists on the best surgical approach for children with multiple recurrences. This cohort study is aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic ileopexy versus laparoscopic simple reduction for treatment of ileocolic intussusception with three or more episodes of recurrence in pediatric patients. Patients and Methods: This study enrolled 74 children with three or more recurrences of ileocolic intussusception treated at our department between January 2016 and June 2018. Of these children, 37 cases undergoing laparoscopic ileopexy were matched with 37 cases undergoing laparoscopic simple reduction according to age. Data on patient characteristics, duration of follow-up, operative parameters, and recurrence rate after laparoscopic operation were reviewed and analyzed. Results: Patient characteristics, including age, gender, weight, number of recurrences at surgery, clinical manifestations, and duration of follow-up, were well comparable between the two groups (each P > .05). During follow-up, recurrence occurred in 16 (43.24%) children undergoing laparoscopic simple reduction, whereas recurrence occurred in 1 (2.70%) case undergoing laparoscopic ileopexy. In comparison, laparoscopic ileopexy significantly decreased the risk of recurrence (P < .001). No statistical difference was observed between the two groups in terms of operative time, length of postoperative stay, and intra- and postoperative complications (each P > .05). No morbidity was documented in both groups. Conclusions: Laparoscopic ileopexy is effective and safe as a surgical approach for multiple recurrences of ileocolic intussusception in pediatric patients. The underlying mechanisms are yet to be fully clarified.

Abstract
Hemangiomas are common benign tumors that usually occur on the head and neck in children. However, colonic hemangiomas are rare in clinical practice. Approximately 80% of colonic hemangiomas are of the cavernous type, and morphologically, ≥80% of colonic hemangiomas are sessile and semi-pedunculated. Notably, pedunculated colonic hemangiomas are rare. A 69-year-old woman presented with hematochezia and underwent colonoscopy, which revealed a soft pedunculated submucosal tumor (SMT) measuring 1.5 cm in diameter, in the sigmoid colon. The surface of the SMT resembled the surrounding normal colonic mucosa with regard to color and appearance, with multiple red patches. Narrow-band imaging revealed a few telangiectasias on the surface of the SMT. The lesion could not be definitively diagnosed based on endoscopic findings. Therefore, for more accurate diagnosis, the SMT was removed by snare polypectomy with electrocautery after clipping the basal portion of the tumor stalk for prophylactic hemostasis. Histopathological examination of the specimen revealed a cavernous hemangioma with a negative resection margin. We report a case of a pedunculated cavernous hemangioma of the sigmoid colon removed by snare polypectomy with electrocautery after clipping the basal portion of the tumor stalk for prophylactic hemostasis.

Abstract
The current case presented late with complication of gangrene and perforation because it was first managed as a case of gastroenteritis. Gastroenteritis is among the various differential diagnosis of intussusception a high index of suspicion is required for timely diagnosis. Being available, cheap and free of radiation, using ultrasound more often in infants can aid diagnosis.
Introduction Intussusception is the process of invagination of a bowel segment into the adjoining intestinal lumen which may cause bowel obstruction and gangrene. It commonly occurs in infants at a mean age of 9-months with male preponderance. The condition has excellent prognosis if diagnosis is made early and appropriate treatment commenced and mortality rate from intussusception in children can be less than 1%. However, if diagnosis or treatments are delayed it can be fatal in a few days. Presentation of case We present a case of Ileo-colic perforated ileum due to delayed diagnosis. It was initially misdiagnosed as gastroenteritis at another hospital. The infant was resuscitated with intravenous fluid and had laparotomy. A signed consent was obtained before the surgery and media consent was signed for publication. A gangrenous terminal ileum was resected and ileo-colic anastomosis was done. Post-operative course was uncomplicated and the patient was discharged after 5days. Discussion The index case presented late with complication of gangrene and perforation because it was first managed as a case of gastroenteritis. Gastroenteritis is among the various differential diagnosis of intussusception. Complications have been reported to increase numbers of surgical treatment and sometimes mortality, but rarely occur with good diagnostic acumen. Conclusion We conclude that high clinical suspicion, interaction with senior surgeons and regular use of ultrasound in infants with gastrointestinal symptoms will aid diagnosis. Although surgery was performed in the index case, non-surgical reduction is a very efficient treatment modality in uncomplicated cases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The success of non-operative reduction methods is extremely high in pediatric intussusceptions. Recurrent intussusceptions are also well-known entities in the pediatric age group after non-operative and operative reduction. Historical recommendations include a 24- to 48-h observation period after reduction. This situation often leads to unnecessary time loss. We aimed to show that early discharge does not pose a significant risk. METHODS The medical records of patients who presented to our hospital between January 2008 and June 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. Data collected included age, clinical presentation, procedural information, surgical intervention, hospital stay, and presence of recurrence. RESULTS A total of 62 patients were included the study. Non-operative reduction was successful in 58 of 62 patients (93.5%). Four patients with failed non-operative reduction underwent subsequent surgical procedures. All patients were allowed oral intake within 2-4 h (mean: 2.6 h) after successful non-operative reduction and discharged within 5-8 h (mean: 6.2 h) after reduction. There were five episodes of recurrence and none occurred in the first 48 h after reduction. All recurrences were treated with non-operative reduction as in the first attempt. There were no problems detected in short- or long-term follow-ups. CONCLUSION Pneumatic reduction is a safe and effective method in pediatric intussusception. If one is confident about treatment success, patients can be discharged without a long observation period. Early discharge is also cost-effective and reduces time loss.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a lack of studies addressing the occurrence of negative intraoperative findings (that is the absence of intussusception) after an unsuccessful hydrostatic reduction of an ileocolic intussusception. The aim of this study is to determine the incidence of negative intraoperative findings after unsuccessful hydrostatic reduction of ileocolic intussusception. METHODS We conducted a multicentre retrospective study of all children aged 0-18 years treated for ileocolic intussusception from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2015 in 9 Dutch hospitals. Primary outcome measure was the percentage of children without an intussusception during surgical exploration after unsuccessful hydrostatic reduction. RESULTS In the study period 436 patients were diagnosed with an ileocolic intussusception. Of these, 408 patients underwent hydrostatic reduction of an ileocolic intussusception. 112 patients (27.5%) underwent surgery after an unsuccessful hydrostatic reduction. In 13 (11.6%) patients no intraoperative evidence of intussusception was found. Patients who underwent surgical intervention after unsuccessful hydrostatic reduction were significantly younger than patients who had a successful hydrostatic reduction; there was no gender difference. CONCLUSION A substantial number of children (11.6%) underwent a laparotomy after unsuccessful hydrostatic reduction in whom no intussusception was found intraoperatively. We suggest initiating laparoscopy instead of laparotomy when surgery is necessary. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level II.

Abstract
PURPOSE We have previously demonstrated successful laparoscopic management after failed enema reduction of children with intussusception. The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of our mature experience with laparoscopic reduction by evaluating operative success, duration of hospital stay, postoperative complications, and hospital readmission rates. MATERIALS AND METHODS After IRB approval, a retrospective review was conducted on children (age 0-18 years) who failed enema reduction of intussusception between 2008 and 2017. Cases were classified as either open or laparoscopic. Demographic data, incidence of bowel resection, postoperative length of stay, complications, and hospital readmission rates were abstracted from patient medical records. Comparative analysis was performed in STATA with a P value <.05 determined as significant. RESULTS A total of 81 children were included in our study with 63 patients (78%) undergoing a laparoscopic reduction and 18 patients (22%) undergoing an open operation. Laparoscopic reduction carried similar complication rates (11%) when compared with children undergoing an open reduction (11%, P = 1.00). Furthermore, both hospital readmission rates and returns to the operating room were similar between the two groups (P = .345 and P = .672, respectively). The median postoperative length of stay was shorter for patients undergoing a laparoscopic reduction (4 days, interquartile range [IQR], 2-5 days) than for patients undergoing an open reduction (5 days, IQR, 4-6 days, P = .001). Children undergoing a laparoscopic reduction had a decreased rate of bowel resection (43% versus 50%, P = .591) despite similar rate of pathological lead points (21% versus 22%, P = .884). CONCLUSION Laparoscopic management of intussusception after failed radiographic reduction yields a reduced hospital length of stay with no increase in hospital readmission rates and reoperations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intussusception is a common abdominal emergency in children with significant morbidity. Prompt diagnosis and management reduces associated risks and the need for surgical intervention. Despite widespread agreement on the use of contrast enema as opposed to surgery for initial management in most cases, debate persists on the appropriate contrast medium, imaging modality, pharmacological adjuvant, and protocol for delayed repeat enema, and on the best approach for surgical management for intussusception in children. OBJECTIVES To assess the safety and effectiveness of non-surgical and surgical approaches in the management of intussusception in children. SEARCH METHODS We searched the following electronic databases: Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL; 2016, Issue 8) in the Cochrane Library; Ovid MEDLINE (1950 to September 2016); Ovid Embase (1974 to September 2016); Science Citation Index Expanded (via Web of Science) (1900 to September 2016); and BIOSIS Previews (1969 to September 2016).We examined the reference lists of all eligible trials to identify additional studies. To locate unpublished studies, we contacted content experts, searched the World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP) and ClinicalTrials.gov (September 2016), and explored proceedings from meetings of the British Association of Paedatric Surgeons (BAPS), the American Soceity of Pediatric Surgery, and the World Congress of Pediatric Surgery. SELECTION CRITERIA We included all randomised controlled trials comparing contrast media, imaging modalities, pharmacological adjuvants, protocols for delayed repeat enema, and/or surgical approaches for the management of intussusception in children. We applied no language, publication date, or publication status restrictions. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two review authors independently conducted study selection and data extraction and assessed risk of bias using a standardised form. We resolved disagreements by consensus with a third review author when necessary. We reported dichotomous outcomes as risk ratios (RRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). We analysed data on an intention-to-treat basis and evaluated the overall quality of evidence supporting the outcomes by using GRADE criteria. MAIN RESULTS We included six randomised controlled trials (RCTs) with a total of 822 participants. Two trials compared liquid enema reduction plus glucagon versus liquid enema alone. One trial compared liquid enema plus dexamethasone versus liquid enema alone. Another trial compared air enema plus dexamethasone versus air enema alone, and two trials compared use of liquid enema versus air enema. We identified three ongoing trials.We judged all included trials to be at risk of bias owing to omissions in reported methods. We judged five of six trials as having high risk of bias in at least one domain. Therefore, the quality of the evidence (GRADE) for outcomes was low. Interventions and data presentation varied greatly across trials; therefore meta-analysis was not possible for most review outcomes. Enema plus glucagon versus enema alone It is uncertain whether use of glucagon improves the rate of successful reduction of intussusception when compared with enema alone (reported in two trials, 218 participants; RR 1.09, 95% CI 0.94 to 1.26;low quality of evidence). No trials in this comparison reported on the number of children with bowel perforation(s) nor on the number of children with recurrent intussusception. Enema plus dexamethasone versus enema alone Use of the adjunct, dexamethasone, may be beneficial in reducing intussusception recurrence with liquid or air enema (two trials, 299 participants; RR 0.14, 95% CI 0.03 to 0.60; low quality of evidence). This equates to a number needed to treat for an additional beneficial outcome of 13 (95% CI 8 to 37). It is uncertain whether use of the adjunct, dexamethasone, improves the rate of successful reduction of intussusception when compared with enema alone (reported in two trials, 356 participants; RR 1.01, 95% CI 0.92 to 1.10;low quality of evidence). Air enema versus liquid enema Air enema may be more successful than liquid enema for reducing intussusception (two trials, 199 participants; RR 1.28, 95% CI 1.10 to 1.49; low quality of evidence). This equates to a number needed to treat for an additional beneficial outcome of 6 (95% CI 4 to 19). No trials in this comparison reported on the number of children with bowel perforation(s) or on the number of children with recurrent intussusception nor any intraoperative complications, such as bowel perforation, or other adverse effects. Only one trial reported postoperative complications, but owing to the method of reporting used, a quantitative analysis was not possible. We identified no studies that exclusively evaluated surgical interventions for management of intussusception. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS This review identified a small number of trials that assessed a variety of interventions. All included trials provided evidence of low quality and were subject to serious concerns about imprecision, high risk of bias, or both. Air enema may be superior to liquid enema for successfully reducing intussusception in children; however, this finding is based on a few studies including small numbers of participants. Dexamethasone as an adjuvant may be more effective in reducing intussusception recurrence rates following air enema or liquid enema, but these results are also based on a few studies of small numbers of participants. This review highlights several points that need to be addressed in future studies, including reducing the risk of bias and including relevant outcomes. Specifically, surgical trials are lacking, and future research is needed to address this evidence gap.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intestinal intussusception is a frequent cause of bowel obstruction in children. Initial treatment involves pneumatic reduction. If this fails, operative reduction is indicated. There is controversy regarding use of the laparoscopic (LAP) versus the conventional open approach. PATIENTS AND METHODS We performed a retrospective review of all children with intussusception who required operative reduction at our institution over a 12-year time period. We also performed a meta-analysis to combine our data with the published literature. RESULTS We identified 28 patients requiring operative intervention for reduction of intussusception between January 2000 and April 2012. Five patients underwent LAP reduction, and 23 patients underwent open reduction. Operative times were not statistically different. The rate of overall complications was not statistically different, with 1 of 5 (20%) and 7 of 23 (30%) having complications in the LAP and open groups, respectively. Mean length of stay was 3.8±2.1 days in both the LAP and open groups, with no significant difference. Our meta-analysis identified five retrospective studies comparing LAP and open techniques for reduction of intussusception. We did not find a significant difference between groups with respect to operative time, overall complication rates, or re-operation rates. However, the length of hospital stay was significantly longer in the open group. CONCLUSIONS LAP reduction of intussusception is a safe and feasible alternative to the open approach. Length of stay may be shorter in the LAP group.

Abstract
The success of laparoscopic approach in children has encouraged the application of this technique in young (<2 years) children with non-complicated intussusception. The use of mini-laparoscopy in children (usually 2 mm instruments tools), described in processes such as acute appendicitis may be useful in the context of intussusception as well. Laparoscopic reduction of intussusception appears to be a safe procedure, in young children with uncomplicated intussusception.
Introduction The success of laparoscopic approach in children has encouraged the application of this technique in young (<2 years) children with non-complicated intussusception. Material and method A retrospective analysis of our database provided a total of 4 patients who underwent laparoscopic reduction of intestinal intussusception between 8/2008 and 4/2013. A comprehensive review of each case was done including the video description of the laparoscopic technique of one of them. Results Four patients (2 boys) were treated by laparoscopy for intestinal intussusception. Mean age was 9 months (5–20 months). Delay time between initial symptoms and diagnosis and between diagnosis and surgery were 3.5 days and 6 h respectively. Mean operative time was 35 min. There were no conversions. There were no complications. Patients were discharged after 2.5 days (2–4 days). We herein report (video) the laparoscopic approach in a 5 month male child who suffered from a ileocecal intussusception. A 10 mm trocar was placed in the left lower quadrant and two 5 mm trocars were placed in the upper left quadrant and suprapubic just to the right midline. The cause of the intussusception was identified and the bowel was reduced. A concomitant appendectomy was performed. Conclusion Laparoscopic reduction of intussusception appears to be a safe procedure, in young children with uncomplicated intussusception.

Laparoscopy versus open surgery for idiopathic intussusception in children. Surg Endosc 2014; 29:668-72. [PMID: 25037726 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-014-3717-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2014] [Accepted: 06/25/2014] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE This study aims to compare the results of laparoscopy and open surgery for idiopathic intussusception in children as well as evaluate the efficacy of ileopexy. METHODS AND MATERIALS Between January 2007 and July 2013, children aged <18 years who were operated for intussusception in our institution were reviewed. Patients were classified into two groups, laparoscopy (LAP) and open (OPEN). Both groups were further divided into two subgroups, ileopexy (IP) and non-ileopexy (NIP). Parameters investigated included age, gender, operative indication, surgical procedure, type of intussusception, level of intussusceptum, presence of spontaneously reduced intussusception and pathologic lead points, operative time (OP time), time to oral intake (PO time), length of postoperative hospital stay (LOS), and surgical recurrence. RESULTS There were 23 and 35 patients in LAP and OPEN group, respectively. No significant difference was found on age, operative indication, surgical procedure, type of intussusception, level of intussusceptum, and presence of spontaneously reduced intussusception between both groups. In LAP group, mean OP time was significantly longer; mean PO time and LOS were significantly shorter. One surgical recurrence occurred in each group (p = 0.76). In comparison of LAP-IP (n = 15) and LAP-NIP (n = 8), OP time, PO time, and LOS were similar in both subgroups. One recurrence was noted in LAP-IP (p = 0.46). The overall conversion rate was 13.0 % (6.8 vs. 25 %, p = 0.21). Compared to patients with intussusceptum to ascending colon, the conversion rate was significantly higher in patients with intussusceptum to transverse and descending colon. With the exclusion of conversion, OP time was significantly shorter in LAP-NIP (p = 0.01). CONCLUSION Laparoscopy should be considered the primary modality for radiologically irreducible or recurrent idiopathic intussusception in children. Ileopexy provides no benefit on recurrence prevention but contributes to longer OP time.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute abdominal complaints in children are common presentations in the emergency department. The aetiology, presentation, diagnosis and management often differ from those in adults. METHODS This review was based on expert paediatric surgical experience confirmed by evidence from the literature obtained by searching PubMed and the Cochrane Library. Keywords used were the combinations of 'abdominal emergencies', 'acute abdomen' and the disorders 'acute appendicitis', 'intussusception', 'volvulus', 'Meckel's diverticulum', 'incarcerated inguinal hernia', 'testicular torsion' and 'ovarian torsion' with 'children'. Information was included from reviews, randomized clinical trials, meta-analyses, and prospective and retrospective cohort studies. RESULTS Presentation and symptoms of abdominal emergencies, especially in young children, vary widely, which renders recognition of the underlying disorder and treatment challenging. Critically targeted imaging techniques are becoming increasingly important in obtaining the correct diagnosis without unnecessary delay. Minimally invasive techniques have become the method of choice for the diagnosis and treatment of many abdominal emergencies in children. CONCLUSION Knowledge of abdominal disorders in childhood, their specific presentation, diagnosis and treatment facilitates management of children with acute abdomen in emergency departments. Imaging and minimally invasive techniques are becoming increasingly important in the diagnosis of acute abdomen in children. Urgent operation remains the cornerstone of therapy for most acute abdominal disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Idiopathic intussusception is one of the most common causes of small bowel obstruction in children. In the event of failed radiological reduction, laparotomy remains the treatment of choice. There is still no agreement in pediatric surgery about safety and effectiveness of the use of minimally invasive surgery in this common pediatric condition. By reviewing available data we aimed to establish whether laparoscopy should be the primary technique in the surgical reduction of intussusception. METHODS A systematic review of all publications on the laparoscopic treatment of pediatric intussusception from January 1990 to April 2012 was performed. The following variables were analyzed: age, laparoscopic success rate, reason for conversion, enterotomy rate, operative time, complications, and length of stay (LOS). RESULTS Ten retrospective studies treating 276 cases of laparoscopically reduced intussusception were identified. A total of 80 conversions corresponded to a 71.0% laparoscopic success rate. Only one case of intraoperative iatrogenic intestinal perforation was reported (0.4%). Postoperative complications occurred in 8 patients (2.9%), and adhesive small bowel obstruction was reported in 1 case (0.4%). Recurrence rate after laparoscopy was 3.6%. Three of 10 papers compared results between laparoscopic and open reduction of intussusception showing a shorter mean LOS in the former group (4.0 vs. 7.1 days, p<0.01). CONCLUSION Laparoscopy is safe and effective in the treatment of pediatric intussusception. Tertiary centers with adequate minimally invasive skills should establish laparoscopy as the primary surgical technique in the treatment of this condition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intussusception is a common cause of bowel obstruction in children, which sometimes necessitates operative reduction and or resection. We report our series of patients with intussusception who were treated laparoscopically (LAP group) compared with exploratory laparotomy (OPEN group). SUBJECTS AND METHODS After institutional review board approval, a retrospective review was performed evaluating outcomes for patients requiring surgical reduction of intussusception over a 10-year period. Analysis was based on intent to treat, and technique of exploration was surgeon's choice. Data were analyzed with the Wilcoxon rank sum test and chi-squared test where appropriate. P≤.05 was considered significant. RESULTS During the time period studied, there were 92 patients treated surgically for intussusception: 65 LAP and 27 OPEN. Conversion to the open procedure was required for 21 patients in the LAP group, and of those, 6 required bowel resection. Seven of the patients who were started in the OPEN group ultimately required bowel resection. Operative time, length of hospital stay, time to full feeds, and total days of narcotics were all significantly shorter for the LAP group compared with the OPEN group (P=.003, P=.001, P=.001, and P=.004, respectively). A pathologic lead point was found in 14% of LAP and 15% of OPEN cases. In a subset analysis, 33% of patients who were converted from the LAP group to the open procedure had a pathologic lead point. Complication rates between the LAP and OPEN groups were comparable. CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopy appears to be a safe and effective technique for reducing intussusception in children. The laparoscopic cases had shorter operative time, shorter time to full feeds, lower requirement for intravenous narcotics, and earlier discharges.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Japanese Society of Emergency Pediatrics has formulated evidence-based guidelines for the management of intussusception in children in order to diagnose intussusceptions promptly, to initiate appropriate treatment as early as possible, and to protect intussuscepted children from death. METHODS Literature was collected systematically via the Internet using the key words "intussusception" and "children." The evidence level of each paper was rated in accordance with the levels of evidence of the Oxford Center for Evidence-based Medicine. The guidelines consisted of 50 clinical questions and the answers. Grades of recommendation were added to the procedures recommended on the basis of the strength of evidence levels. RESULTS Three criteria of "diagnostic criteria,""severity assessment criteria," and "criteria for patient transfer" were proposed aiming at an early diagnosis, selection of appropriate treatment, and patient transfer for referral to a tertiary hospital in severe cases. Barium is no longer recommended for enema reduction (recommendation D) because the patient becomes severely ill once perforation occurs. Use of other contrast media, such as water-soluble iodinated contrast, normal saline, or air, is recommended under either fluoroscopic or sonographic guidance. Delayed repeat enema improves reduction success rate, and is recommended if the initial enema partially reduced the intussusception and if the patient condition is stable. CONCLUSIONS The guidelines offer standards of management, but it is not necessarily the purpose of the guidelines to regulate clinical practices. One should judge each individual clinical situation in accordance with experiences, available devices, and the patient's condition.

Abstract
Small bowel intussusception in infancy owing to a pathologic lead point is a rare event requiring immediate surgical attention. We report a case of a 7-month-old patient presenting with ileoileal intussusception with isolated heterotopic pancreas as the lead point. We review the literature of small bowel intussusception focusing on diagnosis and treatment. In contrast to comparable previous reports of infants with heterotopic pancreas and intussusception, the diagnosis was based solely on ultrasound findings followed by operative management using a laparoscopically assisted surgical approach.

Abstract
The surgical approach for managing intussusception is controversial. In this study, a retrospective analysis of patients undergoing surgical reduction for intussusception over a period of five years was conducted. All patients received either open surgery or laparoscopic approach after failing enema reduction of intussusception. The clinical and operative data were collected and analyzed. Eight patients received open surgery (OPEN group), and 37 patients received laparoscopic surgery, while two (5.4%) of them converted to open surgery. The remaining 35 patients were included in the LAP group. There was no difference in age, gender, clinical symptoms and signs, duration of symptoms, level of intussusception, and complications between the OPEN and LAP groups. In contrast, the operation time and length of hospital stay in the LAP group were significantly shorter than those in the OPEN group (P = 0.013 and P = 0.001 respectively). No recurrence was disclosed in the OPEN group but three patients in the LAP group had recurrent intussusception (8.6%); however, the difference of the recurrence rate between these two groups was not statistically significant (P = 0.40). In conclusion, reducing intussusception with the laparoscopic approach is highly successful and can be performed first for stable patients requiring surgical intervention.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Minimally invasive approaches are beginning to be employed in the management of pediatric patients with intussusception who fail radiographic reduction. Successful laparoscopic reduction has been demonstrated, but the utility of laparoscopy, for more complex cases, is less well documented. Therefore, we reviewed our experience with laparoscopy in patients with radiographically irreducible intussusception to document the safety and effectiveness of this approach. METHODS We conducted a retrospective review of all of the patients who had a radiographically irreducible intussusception treated via the laparoscopic approach at a single institution from 1998 to 2008. Means are expressed +/- standard deviation. RESULTS A total of 22 patients were identified, with an average age of 2.9 +/- 3.0 years. Average length of stay was 2.67 +/- 1.5 days (median, 2). Sixteen (73%) of the 22 patients were male. There were 19 ileocecal and 3 small bowel intussusceptions. Twenty patients (91%) were able to be managed entirely laparoscopically or via extension of the umbilical incision, while 2 necessitated conversion, using a right-lower quadrant incision. Nine patients had an extension of the umbilical incision; 7 of these underwent a bowel resection. Ten patients (46%) had a bowel resection, of which 5 were an ileocecectomy and 5 were segmental small bowel resection. There were a total of 9 patients with a pathologic lead point, 5 patients with lymphoid hyperplasia, and 4 with Meckel's diverticula. CONCLUSION We conclude that laparoscopy is a reasonable approach to pediatric intussusception, even in the event when bowel resection is necessary.

Abstract
Children represent a unique group of patients who are likely to greatly benefit from minimally invasive surgery (MIS). The promise of less postoperative pain, smaller scars, shorter hospital stays, and a faster return to school continues to drive growth in this area. The development of pediatric-specific techniques and documentation of improved outcomes form a critical gateway to widespread application of pediatric MIS. A brief perspective on current approaches to MIS for pediatric congenital and acquired disease is provided in this report. Technical departures from standardized adult MIS and the rationale for their modification are highlighted.
