Surgical treatment of complicated Meckel

Area of Science:

  • Gastrointestinal Surgery
  • Surgical Case Series
  • Abdominal Surgery

Background:

  • Meckel's diverticulum is a congenital anomaly that can lead to various complications.
  • Complicated Meckel's diverticulum requires prompt surgical intervention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the surgical experience with complicated Meckel's diverticulum.
  • To highlight the importance of timely diagnosis and appropriate surgical management.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective assessment of eight patients who underwent surgery for complicated Meckel's diverticulum between 1994 and 2001.
  • Analysis of patient demographics, preoperative and intraoperative diagnoses, surgical procedures, and postoperative outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Six males and two females (mean age 31 years) were treated.
  • Common presentations included acute surgical abdomen and incarcerated inguinal hernias.
  • Diagnoses included Littre's hernia, diverticulitis, perforation, and intestinal obstruction.
  • Surgical procedures involved diverticulectomy or small bowel resection.
  • One patient experienced postoperative intestinal obstruction.

Conclusions:

  • Awareness of Meckel's diverticulum complications is crucial for surgical timing and incision selection.
  • Prompt and appropriate surgical management can decrease patient morbidity.
