[Acute intestinal invagination in infants and children. Analysis of 125 cases treated surgically].
125 children were treated for acute intussusception with :-- Barium enema to establish the diagnosis and to do partial reduction--Even when total reduction is radiologically obtained a surgical control is done with routine appendicectomy.--The rate of recurrence is 3,2% occurring from 1 to 2 years after surgery. In 18% of our cases (23 patients) an organic etiology was discovered at surgery but in one patient only this was documented ona barium enema which demonstrated the necessity of systematic laparotomy.
