History of non surgical reduction of intussusception

Quote from "Pediatric Surgery (Springer Surgery Atlas)" by Prem Puri, Michael E. Höllwarth -

"Nonsurgical reduction has a longstanding history; it was first described by McDermott in 1994. In principle, an enema pushes back the intussuscepted bowel. The progress of the reduction can be monitored by fluoroscopy or ultrasound. As contrast media, air or water-soluble iodine solutions can be used for fluoroscopy, and physiologic saline, for ultrasound. A success rate of up to 95% has been reported for nonsurgical reduction, so this procedure should be considered as a first-line treatment."
