Laparoscopy for Intussusception after Other Treatments Fail
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopy) to fix intussusception in children when other non-surgical treatments haven't worked. It could help avoid a larger operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 1 and 12 years old.
- Your child has intussusception (a part of the intestine slides into another part, causing a blockage).
- A previous non-surgical treatment (like an enema with fluid or air) did not fix the intussusception.
- Your child does not have a bleeding disorder, unstable blood pressure/heart rate, or serious heart or lung disease.
- Your child does not have a known primary disease like lymphoma or major birth defects.
- Your child has not had any previous abdominal surgery.

This trial looks at two different ways to treat a rare complication where part of the stomach folds into the intestine after a weight-loss surgery called gastric plication. It may help doctors learn the best approach for this condition.
This trial looks at whether giving hydrocortisone (a steroid medicine) can improve outcomes for infants with intussusception, a condition where part of the bowel slips into another part. It specifically focuses on babies treated with a non-surgical air method to push the bowel back in place.
This study looks at how celiac disease is linked to a bowel blockage called intussusception in children. It may help doctors better detect and manage this complication.
This trial looks at adults diagnosed with intussusception (a bowel blockage) to understand whether the cause is non-cancerous or cancerous. The goal is to help guide better diagnosis and treatment decisions.
This trial compares a newer, smaller-scope surgery (needlescopic) with the standard laparoscopic method for fixing inguinal hernias in kids. It aims to see if the needlescopic approach is safer or has better recovery.
This trial tests a specific laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery technique for Crohn's disease affecting the last part of the small intestine. It aims to see if removing more of the fatty tissue around the bowel leads to better outcomes. If you have Crohn's disease needing surgery in this area, you may be eligible.
