Abstract
In high-income countries the presentation and treatment of intussusception is relatively rapid, and most cases are correctable with radiographically-guided reduction. In low-income countries, many delays affect outcomes and surgical intervention is required. This study characterizes the burden and outcome of pediatric intussusception in Uganda.
