Haemostatic indexes for predicting intestinal necrosis in children with intussusception.

Background: To determine risk factors for intestinal necrosis in intussusception cases among children with failed non-surgical reduction for intussusception.

Methods: Totally, 540 hospitalized individuals with unsuccessful air-enema reduction in our hospital between November 2010 and November 2020 were assessed in this retrospective study. The 540 intussusception cases were divided into the intestinal necrosis and non-intestinal necrosis groups.

Clinical characteristics of Meckel diverticulum in children: A retrospective review of a 15-year single-center experience.

Meckel diverticulum is the most prevalent congenital abnormality of the gastrointestinal tract in children. The aim of this study was to review and analyze clinical data on the diagnosis and management of Meckel diverticulum in pediatric patients. The records of 102 pediatric patients (<14 years old) who underwent surgery for Meckel diverticulum at our institute between 2001 and 2015 were reviewed.
