Abstract
MATOS, Irma; BAZAN, Elsa and CHIRINOS, Mario. Reduction of ileocolic intussusception with hydrostatic enema under ultrasound guidance in pediatric patients: Case report. Rev. gastroenterol. Perú [online]. 2023, vol.43, n.2, pp.149-155. Epub July 06, 2023. ISSN 1022-5129. http://dx.doi.org/10.47892/rgp.2023.431.1400.
Ileocolic intussusception is a pediatric emergency with initial non-surgical treatment. Ultrasound-guided hydrostatic reduction in pediatric patients is a widely used initial treatment method in the world; however, its use is not widespread in our environment. We present 4 cases of patients with ileocolic intussusception treated by ultrasound-guided hydrostatic reduction in the Instituto Nacional de Salud del Niño - San Borja (INSNSB), with therapeutic reduction and without complications.
