Intussusception Reduction
Intussusception is the one of the commonest cause of intestinal obstruction requiring urgent attention in neonatal and early childhood. Ileocolic intussusception in which the ileum (small bowel) telescopes into the colon (large bowel) is the commonest variety. If left undiagnosed or misdiagnosed and untreated, it may turn fatal due to gangrene and sloughing off of ileum leading to perforation peritonitis. Ultrasound is used to diagnose intussusception. An airtight rectal seal is required to improve the success rate and decrease procedure time. The Cephus Catheter is the only double balloon colorectal catheter available for clinical use. The catheter’s two balloons create an airtight seal around the anal canal. The Cephus Catheter has been successful in reducing intussusception with less procedure time.
