Pediatric Postoperative Intussusception in the Minimally Invasive Surgery Era: A 13-Year, Single Center Experience

Abstract

Although rare, postoperative intussusception can occur after a multitude of interventions, including those performed at a distance from the abdomen. Although small bowel intussusception is the predominant variant of this complication after abdominal procedures, ileocolic intussusception is prevalent after other interventions. Minimally invasive abdominal access may protect against postoperative intussusception in children.
