Overview

Diagnostic studies such as colonoscopy, double-balloon enteroscopy, laproscopy, laparotomy may help in the detection of symptomatic and asymptomatic Meckel's diverticula. Screenings for bleeding disorders may be performed to rule out other sources of bleeding.

Other Diagnostic Studies

Colonoscopy

Colonoscopy may be helpful in ruling out other sources of bleeding but is not used as an identification tool.

Double-balloon enteroscopy

Double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) is a potentially useful tool for:
- Diagnosis
- As a guide for minimally invasive treatment

Laparoscopy and laparotomy

Means by which an incidental Meckel's diverticulum is most commonly detected

Screenings for bleeding disorders

It is necessary to screen for bleeding disorders to rule out other causes of GI bleeding.
