title: [Development of the operative and non-operative treatment of acute intestinal intussusception in children].
abstract: A review of 152 cases of acute intestinal intussusception shows a dramatic evolution in its management within the last 15 years. Ultrasound is the main procedure utilized, and in the hands of a trained-radiologist, it allows a safe non-surgical treatment via barium or pneumatic reduction. Surgery is now limited to the rare cases of failure of the above treatment, and to advanced or complicated cases.
