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:[1]
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.
