Core Tip
Core Tip: This study aimed to explore the clinical characteristics, effectiveness, and complications of surgical reduction for intussusception using laparoscopy in children. Laparoscopic intussusception reduction can be beneficial and without significant complications if well indicated, and if an extension of the umbilical incision is used if needed. Laparoscopic assistance can also yield good treatment outcomes in some complicated cases requiring intestinal resection.
