Abstract:
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE:We aim to justify the need for surgical intervention in our patients with childhood small bowel intussusceptions (SBIs) and review the current concepts in childhood SBI. MATERIALS AND METHODS:We retrospectively reviewed the clinical charts of all patients with surgically confirmed SBI between July 1999 and October 2002. Demographic data, clinical presentation and investigations, operative and pathologic findings, and outcome were analyzed. RESULTS:Of 173 patients with intussusception, 6 (3.5%) were diagnosed with SBI. Median age was 11 months. Ultrasonography revealed intussusceptions in all patients, but only 1 was diagnosed with SBI. Air enema reductions were attempted in 4 of 6 patients with all ending up in failure and surgery. Surgery revealed ileoileal intussusceptions in 4 patients and jejunojejunal intussusceptions in 2 patients. Two patients had long intussusceptions measuring between 30 and 50 cm in length. Five patients had pathologic lead points, and bowel complications occurred in 2 patients. All underwent bowel resection and primary anastomosis. CONCLUSION:Despite reports on spontaneous reduction of SBI, surgery was unavoidable in all our patients with SBI because of the presence of pathologic lead points and/or bowel complications. Air enema reduction was ineffective in SBI. Due caution should be exercised when selecting patients for expectant management.
