Article Hydrostatic Reduction Supported With External Manuel Reduction in Treatment of Intussusception: a New Technical Synthesis(Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi, 2019) Beger, B.; Kızılyıldız, B.S.; Şimşek, M.; Düz, E.; Akdeniz, H.Intussusception treatment is routinely performed in our clinic using ultrasound-guided hydrostatic reduction (USGHR). Because of the difficulties seen in technique and its less-than-ideal success rate, alternative methods are searched. In this study, we would like to discuss using external manual reduction (EMR) in combination with USGHR in intussusception treatment. This retrospective study was completed in Pediatric Surgery Department of Van Training and Research Hospital, between February2018 and May 2018. Patients that treated with USGHR marked as Group 1 and Patients that treated with combination of USGHR and marked as Group 2. Patient age, gender, symptoms, treatment techniques, complications and hospitalization periods were noted. In Group 1; 14 patients were treated with a single session and 2 were treated with 2 sessions. 4 patients were treated with surgery. Mean reduction time was calculated as 16 minutes, the fluid volume required for each reduction was 84 ml/kg and mean hospitalization period was calculated as 33 hours. In Group 2; 18 out of 20 patients were treated in the first session and 2 required a secondary session. Mean reduction time was calculated as 13 minutes, the fluid volume required for reduction was 65 ml/kg and mean ho spitalization period was calculated as 25 hours. The results were statistically assessed by using SPSS version 24. Normality controls were done using Shapiro-Wilk Test. As an alternative; USGHR supported by EMR can be beneficial in increasing the treatment success rate in intussusception treatment and decreasing negative laparotomy rates, especially in partial reduction cases. © 2019, Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi.
