Key Points

This study aims to evaluate the demographic characteristics, treatment approaches, and outcomes of pediatric intussusception to develop a management algorithm.
Retrospective analysis of 65 cases diagnosed with intussusception from January 2020 to June 2023.
Assessment included age, gender, clinical findings, time to presentation, length of invaginated segments, and treatment methods.
Cases were categorized into three groups: observation, non-surgical reduction, and surgical intervention.
Significant differences in segment length were found between the observation group and both reduction (p=0.001) and surgery groups (p=0.002).
In Group 2, 6 patients required surgery due to unsuccessful reduction.
Surgery was performed on most cases in Group 3, with 4 requiring resection.
