This review analyzes 21 pediatric Meckel

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery
  • Surgical Case Reviews

Background:

  • Meckel's diverticulum is a congenital anomaly of the small intestine.
  • It is the most common congenital malformation of the gastrointestinal tract.
  • Complications can arise, necessitating surgical intervention in pediatric patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review surgically documented cases of Meckel's diverticulum in children.
  • To analyze the clinical presentation and outcomes of pediatric Meckel's diverticulum.
  • To understand the spectrum of complications and management strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of surgically treated pediatric cases.
  • Analysis of patient demographics, clinical presentation, and surgical findings.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Data compilation from Kasturba Hospital, Manipal, since 1981.

    • Main Results:

    • Twenty-one cases of Meckel's diverticulum in children were identified.
    • Intestinal obstruction was the most frequent presentation (14 cases).
    • Other presentations included pain abdomen (2), Littre's hernia (2), incidental findings (2), and one case of gastrointestinal bleeding.

    Conclusions:

    • Meckel's diverticulum in children frequently presents with intestinal obstruction.
    • A diverse range of clinical presentations is observed.
    • Surgical management is crucial for symptomatic Meckel's diverticulum in pediatric populations.
