Introduction: Ileocolic intussusception is one of the most frequent causes of acute abdomen in infants and toddlers. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the treatment of ileocolic intussusception in the Czech Republic in 2019.
Methods: Fourteen departments of paediatric surgery participated in this multicentre retrospective study. A SurveyMonkey Inc. questionnaire was used for anonymous data collection of patients with ileocolic intussusception.
Results: In 2019, ileocolic intussusception was diagnosed in 162 patients; median age was 30 months (3 months to 9.5 years). Contrast enema was indicated in 133 patients, primary surgery in 14 patients and spontaneous reduction was found in 15 patients. All departments using contrast enema had a success rate of 89.5%; 12 departments approached the contrast enema procedure under general anaesthesia (including myorelaxation at 7 departments) and 2 departments under sedation. Contrast enema under general anaesthesia with/without myorelaxation was significantly more successful than contrast enema under sedation (108/113, 95.6% vs 11/20, 55%; p.

Background: In small dermatological surgeries for infant and child patients, it is required that the child be in a quiet state. However, general anesthesia not only requires the participation of professional anesthesiologists for surgery but also has a high cost and anesthesia risks. Parents have a low acceptance rate.

: Bowel endometriosis (BE) is characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue within the muscular layer of the bowel wall. When BE does not result in the severe obstruction to fecal transit and in the absence of (sub)occlusive symptoms, the decision to perform surgery can be challenging, as intestinal procedures are associated with higher complication rates and long-term bowel dysfunction. This cross-sectional study aims to evaluate the quality of life (QoL) in patients with BE who avoided surgery, as well as to investigate the impact of the characteristics of BE nodules on the QoL and intestinal function.

Article Synopsis
- This study examines the effectiveness and predictors of failure in hydrostatic enema procedures for treating intussusception in children, looking specifically at the use of a water-soluble contrast medium.
- Conducted at the Tokyo Metropolitan Children's Medical Center from March 2010 to May 2022, the research analyzed outcomes from 351 cases where initial attempts were made with the contrast medium positioned at or below 120 cm.
- The findings revealed a 77.5% success rate for reductions at that height, while indicating that younger children (under 12 months) and those with trapped fluid were more likely to experience failed attempts.

Purpose: Our aim was to determine whether the administration of a micro-enema immediately prior to prostate MRI is associated with a reduction in rectal gas, gas related artifacts and an improvement in image quality and PI-QUAL score.
Method: This retrospective analysis enrolled 171 patients who underwent multiparametric 3T prostate MRI at our institution between January 2021 and September 2022. 86 patients received a micro-enema, and a further 85 patients did not.
