Article Synopsis
- Surgery is the primary treatment for intussusception in developing countries, but there's a trend toward non-operative methods in wealthier nations, leading to higher bowel resection rates in lower-income regions.
- A study at the University College Hospital in Nigeria analyzed 121 children with intussusception from 2006 to 2015, finding that 43.8% required bowel resection, with specific symptoms indicating a greater likelihood of needing surgery.
- The research concluded that infants with abdominal pain and symptoms lasting over two days were more prone to bowel resection, which also led to increased post-operative complications and longer hospital stays.
