| description | There are few reports on the therapeutic role of colonoscopy in correcting intussusception of childhood. In the present report, 15 children (14 boys and 1 girl) presented with acute intussusception and successfully treated by colonoscopy were presented. The patients were referred to the gastroenterology clinic of Ami-Al-Momenin Hospital, Zabol, Iran from 2015 to 2018. The mean age of the patients was 36.6±28.7 months. After stablishing the diagnosis, they underwent colonoscopic reduction of intussusception by an experienced gastroenterologist. Following 24 hours of the procedure, follow up sonography was performed. Overall, 6 recurrences were identified in 4 (26.7%) patients which were managed by a second colonoscopy. A second recurrence was detected in two patients who finally underwent surgical reduction. Regarding the role of colonoscopy in providing a visual and real-time setting, this can be used as either a primary option or an alternative to radiologic and surgical procedures of intussusception reduction in children. |
