PY - 2014 T2 - Operative Pediatric Surgery, 2e AB - Ninety percent of intussusceptions in children are idiopathic with peak incidence occurring between 5 and 9 months.Meckel diverticulum is most common “pathologic” lead point.Triad of abdominal pain, palpable abdominal mass, and currant jelly stool is present in fewer than 50% of cases.Ultrasound is excellent for confirming diagnosis.Eighty-five percent successfully reduced nonoperatively with the use of fluoroscopically guided air enema.Laparoscopic approach to operative reduction is effective and shortens length of stay.
