Abstract: Objective To summarize the experience of laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of intussusception in children with failure of air enema reduction. Methods The clinical data of 10 pediatric intussusception patients admitted to Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital from June 2018 to March 2019 were retrospectively analyzed, and the feasibility of laparoscopic surgery for pediatric intussusception after failure of air enema reduction was discussed. Results All the 10 cases of intussusception failed to be reduced by air enema were treated with laparoscopic intussusception reduction. Nine cases were successfully reduced by endoscopic intussusception, one case failed to be reduced by recurrent knot intussusception due to intestinal polyps, and the other case was repaired by expanding umbilical incision to remove diverticulum. Conclusion Laparoscopic reduction of intussusception in children is safe and reliable, and has the advantages of laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery.

Key words: infantile intussusception, laparoscope, minimally invasive surgery
