Ultrasound-guided hydrostatic reduction versus fluoroscopy-guided air reduction for pediatric intussusception: a multi-center, prospective, cohort study

Multi-center study of 2,124 children compares ultrasound-guided hydrostatic reduction versus fluoroscopy-guided air reduction for intussusception treatment. UGHR demonstrated higher success rates (95.8% vs 93.1%) with comparable safety and no radiation exposure, particularly effective in children aged 4-24 months.
