[The treatment of intestinal intussusception in childhood].
Intussusception is one of the most frequent cause of mechanical bowel obstruction in children. On the basis of clinical features and diagnosis operations were conducted on 26 children. In 21, the treatment was manual disinvagination. In 5, pathomorphological changes of the walls of the invaginated portion suggested the intestinal resection. The results of treatment and prognosis are discussed.
