Recurrence Rates of Pediatric Gastrojejunostomy Tube-Related Intussusceptions: Immediate Tube Exchange vs. A Period of Bowel Rest.

This study compared the recurrence rate of gastrojejunal (GJ) tube-related intussusceptions managed with temporary tube removal for "bowel rest" versus immediate tube exchange. The secondary aim was to compare the time to recurrence between the two management groups. A total of 92 episodes in 56 pediatric patients were analyzed, with demographics, tube characteristics, and interventions recorded.
