Sedated ultrasound guided saline reduction (SUR) of ileocolic intussusception: 20 year experience

Twenty-year retrospective study of 414 sedated ultrasound-guided saline reductions for pediatric ileocolic intussusception demonstrates 86% success rate with zero perforations. This radiation-free approach using propofol sedation achieved comparable outcomes to traditional fluoroscopic methods while eliminating ionizing radiation exposure and procedural discomfort.
