Pneumatic insufflation of the colon for reduction of pediatric intussusception has recently been recognized in the United States as an alternative method for the more traditional hydrostatic reduction with contrast material. The experience with pneumatic reduction in China is extensive; more than 14,000 cases have been reported in the English language literature. In this review, the general technique used in China is summarized, and the international experience with air insufflation is included in a comparison of hydrostatic and pneumatic reduction techniques.
