Invaginación intestinal: Aspectos epidemiológicos y clínicos. Centro Hospitalario Pereira Rossell 2006-2010

Introduccion: la invaginacion intestinal es la primera causa de oclusion intestinal en ninos pequenos. El diagnostico exige alto grado de sospecha. El tratamiento de eleccion es la reduccion guiada por imagen con un porcentaje de exito elevado.Objetivo: describir las caracteristicas clinicas, el tratamiento y la evolucion de los ninos hospitalizados por invaginacion intestinal en el Servicio de Cirugia Pediatrica del Hospital Pereira Rossell en el periodo 2006-2010.Material y metodos: se incluyeron todos los ninos hospitalizados con invaginacion intestinal en el periodo 1/1/2006–31/12/2010. Se analizo: edad, sexo, procedencia, manifestaciones clinicas, metodos diagnosticos, tratamiento y evolucion (complicaciones, ingreso cuidados intensivos (CTI), estadia hospitalaria). Para el procesamiento de datos se utilizo Epi Info 2008 version 3.5.1.Resultados: se incluyeron 64 episodios de invaginacion intestinal, 85,9% menores de 2 anos. Dolor abdominal, vomitos y enterorragia se presentaron en el 50% de los casos. Se intento la desinvaginacion guiada por imagen en 76%; fue exitosa en 61%. Se realizo cirugia en 34 pacientes (53%), por fracaso de la desinvaginacion por imagen en 19. La estadia hospitalaria, la necesidad de ingreso a CTI y la presencia de complicaciones fueron significativamente mayores en los ninos sometidos a cirugia...(AU) Introduction:intussusception is the most commoncause of bowel obstruction in young children. Itsdiagnosis requires high level of suspicion. Theprimary treatment is image guided reduction with ahigh success rate.Objective:to describe the clinical characteristics,treatment and evolution of all children with intussuception admitted to the Pediatric SurgeryService of the Hospital Pereira Rossell from 2006 to2010.Methods:all children with intussuception admitedbetween 1/1/2006 and 31/12/2010 were included.The items registered were: age, sex, provenance,clinical manifestations, diagnostic methods,treatment and evolution (complications, admission to intensive care unit, duration of hospitalization). Datawas analysed with Epi Info 2008 3.5.1.Results:64 intussuception cases were registered,85,9% of them younger than 2 years. Abdominal pain, vomiting and enterorrhagia occured in 50% of the cases. Attempt of image guided reduction was made in 76%; with a success rate of 61%. Surgical reduction was made in 34 pacientes (53%), 19 of them as a result of nonsurgical reduction failure.Duration of hospitalization, admission to intensive care unit and duration of hospitalization were significantly higher in children who receive surgical treatment.
