Laparoscopic fix for childhood bowel folding after failed enema
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery to fix a bowel condition called intussusception in children when gentler treatments like enemas haven't worked. The goal is to safely reduce the bowel fold with minimal incisions, which may lead to faster recovery and less pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 1 and 12 years old.
- Your child must have intussusception (a part of the bowel folds into itself) that did not get better with non-surgical treatments like air or fluid enemas.
- Your child cannot have had any previous abdominal surgery.
- Your child must not have a known disease like lymphoma or major birth defects.
- Your child must be in stable overall health (no bleeding problems, unstable blood pressure, or severe heart or lung disease).

This study looks at two adults who developed a rare complication called gastroduodenal intussusception after gastric plication surgery, where part of the stomach folds into itself. It compares two different treatments to see which might help others in the same situation.
This study looks at how celiac disease and intussusception (a bowel blockage) are related in children. It wants to see if having celiac disease affects how intussusception occurs or is treated, which could help improve care.
This study tests a keyhole surgery (laparoscopy) to cut away scar tissue (adhesiolysis) that is blocking the intestine. It is for people whose blockage is caused by scar tissue and who have not gotten better with non-surgical care.
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.
This trial tests a minimally invasive surgery to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in children. It aims to reduce symptoms and improve quality of life for kids who have not had prior reflux surgery.
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.
