    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Meckel's diverticulum is a congenital anomaly of the small intestine.
    • It can lead to various gastrointestinal complications if left untreated.

    Observation:

    • Over 8 years, 15 Meckel's diverticulum cases were identified.
    • Six cases presented with complications including inflammation, perforation, intussusception, incarceration, and occult bleeding.

    Findings:

    • All complicated diverticula (6) and 7 asymptomatic cases were surgically removed.
    • Postoperative recovery was uneventful for all treated patients.
    • Two cases were managed non-operatively.

    Implications:

    • Prophylactic removal of Meckel's diverticulum is recommended during incidental findings.
    • Routine screening during appendectomy or laparotomy can prevent future complications.
    • Early detection and surgical intervention improve patient outcomes.
