Özet

BACKGROUND: Intussusception is the most common cause of intestinal obstruction between 6 months and 36 months of age. There is no defined etiology in at least 75–90% of patients. Recurrent intussusception occurs in 5–16% of all intussusceptions and the treatment strategy is controversial in this patient group. The treatment of continued recurrent intussusception is a challenging problem when no lead point is revealed despite recurrence. METHODS: We aimed to review our 10 years of experience in recurrent intussusception and describe a new operative technique for recurrent intussusception cases without any lead points. RESULTS: We, retrospectively, reviewed the data of patients with recurrent intussusception in our referral pediatric surgery clinic between 2007 and 2017. Ultrasound-guided hydrostatic reduction (UGHR) was performed on all patients. Surgery was performed on those patients who had findings of acute abdomen and complete intestinal obstruction or two failed attempts of UGHR for diagnos-tic purposes if a pathologic lead point was suspected based on patient findings and age. Laparoscopy or laparotomy was performed according to surgeon preference and experience. A total of 87 UGHRs were performed. Thirty-three patients were admitted to our clinic due to recurrent intussusception. The mean age was 12.75±14.14 (6–84) months, and 19 were male and 14 were female. Abdominal pain, agitation, and vomiting were common symptoms. UGHR was performed on all 33 patients on at least two different occasions. The time between the first and second UGHR treatments was 42.6±186.19 (0–899) days. The success rate of the second UGHR was 27 out of 33 patients (81.8%). Surgery was performed on six patients. Laparoscopy-assisted ileal folding and fixation to the cecal wall was performed on one patient with recurrent intussusceptions. Appendectomy was performed first, and then, ileal folding with cecal fixation was performed using 4/0 polyglactin sutures. The sutures were placed between the serosal layers of the adjacent terminal ileal loops and the cecal wall. CONCLUSION: Surgeons should try to find permanent solutions for patients with multiple recurrent intussusceptions that are resistant to treatment. Surgical excision of the lead point will help prevent recurrent intussusception. Satisfactory results can also be obtained by UGHR even in patients with recurrences. Laparoscopy is helpful in diagnosis, detection of lead points, and treatment of irreducible intussusception. This new operative technique can be satisfactory for recurrent intussusceptions without any lead points.
