| Popis: | A statistical analysis of eighty cases of intussusception occurring in infants and children, treated either by barium enema reduction or surgery, has been presented. Only one death occurred in this series. Criteria have been determined for the use of barium enema reduction through this analysis. A high rate of cure can be expected in those patients treated in this manner, whose symptoms are less than thirty hours in duration and who show no evidence of peritoneal irritation. The factors of equal safety and of decreased morbidity by utilizing this method have been stressed. |
