Background: Image-guided intussusception reduction has been practised internationally for many decades. The use of different modalities, delayed repeat attempts, and sedation/anaesthesia are unknown.
Objective: To survey the practice of image-guided intussusception reduction.
Materials And Methods: A 20-point questionnaire created by the European Society of Paediatric Radiology (ESPR) Abdominal Imaging Taskforce was distributed via the ESPR members' mailing list and shared on social media between 28 March and 1 May 2023.
Results: There were 69 responses from 65 worldwide institutions, with a mean of 18 intussusception reductions performed per year: 55/69 (80%) from 52 European institutions and 14/69 (20%) from 13 institutions outside of Europe. European centres reported using 19/52 (37%) fluoroscopy, 18/52 (35%) ultrasound, and 15/52 (28%) a mixture of both, with 30/52 (58%) offering a delayed repeat at 15 min to 24 h. Non-European centres reported using 5/13 (39%) fluoroscopy, 6/13 ultrasound (46%), and 2/13 (15%) a mixture of both, with 9/13 (69%) offering a delayed repeat attempt. Sedation or analgesia was used in 35/52 (67%) of European and 2/13 (15%) non-European institutions.
Conclusion: There is wide variation in how image-guided intussusception reduction is performed, and in the use of sedation/anaesthesia.

Colonic intussusception after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is an uncommon, yet clinically significant complication. Therapeutic approaches for postoperative intussusception encompass conservative management, endoscopic reduction, and surgical intervention. We present a case involving a woman in her early 40s who experienced acute abdominal pain and fever shortly after ESD for a large ascending colonic adenoma.

Background: In 2015, Argentina introduced the monovalent rotavirus vaccine into its National Immunization Program with a two-dose schedule at 2 and 4 months of age. This study assessed the impact of the universal rotavirus vaccination program on the burden of diarrheal disease in children under five years of age over a ten-year period, including the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: A mixed ecological time-trend analysis was conducted using national and regional secondary data from surveillance and health information systems.

Introduction: Retrograde colonic intussusception is a rare condition in adults, often caused by organic lesions such as tumors. Autonomic dysfunction in disorders like multiple system atrophy (MSA) might contribute to its occurrence.
Case Presentation: An 81-year-old bedridden woman with a history of MSA presented with severe abdominal pain and abdominal distension lasting 4 days.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to identify risk factors for enema reduction failure and to establish a combined model that integrates deep learning (DL) features and clinical features for predicting surgical intervention in intussusception in children younger than 8 months of age.
Design: A retrospective study with a prospective validation cohort of intussusception.
Setting And Data: The retrospective data were collected from two hospitals in south east China between January 2017 and December 2022.

Background: Management of intestinal intussusception remains controversial with regards to conservative versus operative management, as well as choice of surgical procedure.
Methods: A systematic review on PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, Google Scholar, SCOPUS/EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library was performed. Articles published between 2004 and 2024 were collected.
