Hydrostatic Reduction of Paediatric Intussusception: A Life-Saver
Intussusception is the invagination of one segment of the bowel into another. The proximal or distal bowel could herniate into the adjacent bowel and any part of the bowel could be involved. The segment that invaginates is called intussusceptum and the segment that receives the invaginating segment is termed intussuscipiens [1].
