title: [Intestinal invagination: a childhood pathology amenable to conservative treatment].
abstract: Seventy five cases of intussusception during 1983 were studied in order to perform a statistical analysis of the relationship between clinical data an mode of treatment. Age (less than 3 months) and bloody stools upon finger rectal examination increased the percentage of surgical treatment. The reduction of intussusception by hydrostatic pressure under fluoroscopic guidance showed good therapeutical results in 89% of the cases in which it was performed.
