| Abstract | Context: Management of pediatric intussusception typically involves nonsurgical or surgical approaches. Although colonoscopy may offer therapeutic advantages, its precise role in pediatric intussusception remains uncertain. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of colonoscopy in the management of pediatric intussusception. Evidence Acquisition: A comprehensive literature search was performed in MEDLINE (via PubMed), EMBASE (via Ovid), Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, the Cochrane Library, and the Trip Database, from inception to August 30, 2025. Two independent reviewers screened and selected studies involving pediatric patients (< 18 years) with intestinal intussusception who underwent colonoscopy. The search strategy included keywords and MeSH terms such as intussusception, colonoscopy, treatment, management, child, and infant. Results: A total of 121 infants and children with intestinal intussusception who underwent colonoscopy were evaluated. The overall success rate of colonoscopic reduction was 88.4% (range across studies, 66.7%–100%). Recurrence within 24 hours occurred in 11 patients (9.1%; range, 6.2%–26.7%). No colonoscopy-related complications were reported. | en |
