| Abstract |
|
Intussusception is the most common cause of acquired intestinal obstruction and requires emer-
gency treatment.
Recently, saline reduction under the ultrasound guidance has been successful as a diagnostic and
therapeutic tool of intussusception. It is a simple, rapid, noninvasive, painless procedure without risk
of radiation.
We compared the result of saline reduction in 54 cases with that of barium reduction in 104 cases
from January, 1988 to July, 1989.
The results were as follows,
1) The successful rate of saline reduction was 87% which is not significant compared to 86% of
barium reduction.
2) The recurrent rate of saline reduction was 15% which is not significant compared to 14% for
barium reduction.
Therefore it is expected that hydrostatic saline reduction under the ultrasound guidance can
replace the barium reduction as a treatment of choice of hildhood intussusception. |
