title: [Intestinal invagination in childhood: etiopathogenetic evaluations and details of surgical technique].
abstract: Intussusception in childhood, especially the idiopathic type, is herein considered. The Authors evaluate some etiopathological aspects on the basis of their experience in 34 patients, and affirm the need of an early and correct diagnosis. They also consider therapeutical management and surgical approach, evaluating local and general conditions of the patient as well as time passed since the onset of symptoms. Finally the importance of an accurate diagnostical examination during the quiescent period and some details of the surgical technique are stressed.
