Background:

  • Meckel's diverticulum is a congenital anomaly of the small intestine.
  • Complications can include obstruction, bleeding, and diverticulitis.

Observation:

  • A retrospective study analyzed 34 cases of Meckel's diverticulum treated between 1990-2003.
  • 22 cases presented with complications, including intestinal obstruction and diverticulitis.
  • Laparoscopic diagnosis and treatment were employed.

Findings:

  • Laparoscopy proved safe, cost-effective, and efficient for Meckel's diverticulum.
  • Prophylactic excision was performed in 8 of 12 uncomplicated cases.
  • Gastric mucosa was found in 6 of the prophylactically excised diverticula.

Implications:
