title: Intussusception in childhood.
abstract: We present our experiences with 41 consecutive cases of intussusception. Most cases had a preliminary barium enema performed that successfully reduced the intussusception in 12 cases. Twenty-nine patients were explored surgically; bowel resection was carried out in 6 patients, and surgical reduction was carried out in 23 cases.
