    Symptomatic Meckel

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Meckel's diverticulum is a congenital anomaly of the small intestine.
    • Symptomatic presentations often require emergency surgical intervention.
    • Ectopic tissue within the diverticulum is a known complication factor.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review emergency surgical cases of symptomatic Meckel's diverticulum.
    • To analyze the impact of ectopic tissue on clinical presentation and outcomes.
    • To identify risk factors for acute non-mechanical complications.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 18 patients undergoing emergency surgery for symptomatic Meckel's diverticulum.
    • Patients categorized into two groups: with and without ectopic tissue.
    • Clinical data, including presentation, surgical findings, and postoperative course, were analyzed.

    Main Results:

    • 13 of 18 patients (72%) had ectopic tissue (gastric, pancreatic, or both).
    • Patients with ectopic tissue had a longer postoperative course (15 days vs. 7 days).
    • Acute non-mechanical complications were more frequent and severe in patients with ectopic tissue, particularly younger individuals.

    Conclusions:

    • The presence of ectopic tissue in Meckel's diverticulum is a significant risk factor for acute non-mechanical complications.
    • Ectopic tissue is associated with more severe presentations and prolonged recovery.
    • Early recognition and management are crucial, especially in pediatric cases.
