Risk Factors of Nonsurgical Management Failure in Pediatric Intussusception Patients With Delayed Presentation.
The present study aimed to investigate the time-related predicting factors of the ultrasound-guided hydrostatic reduction (USGHR) failure in pediatric patients with ileocolic intussusception and delayed presentation. ⋯ The presence of entrapped fluid between the intussuscepted loops, free peritoneal fluid, and the length of the intussuscepted segments were all associated with USGHR failure in our study. Therefore, determining these predictors may help anticipate failure of reduction.
