Overview
Surgery is the preferred modality of treatment in patients with Meckel's diverticula.[1][2][3][4]
Asymptomatic Meckel’s diverticulum
- An asymptomatic Meckel's diverticulum is discovered incidentally on abdominal imaging or exploration( laparoscopy or laparotomy) for an indication such as a presumptive diagnosis of acute cholecystitis.
- Generally, surgical resection is avoided in cases of asymptomatic diverticula as in order to benefit a single patient, 800 incidental diverticula need to be removed.[5]
- In elderly patients, resection of diverticulum may be preferred to prevent complications.
- Removal of an asymptomatic diverticulum is not advised in the presence of complications such as:
- The decision regarding resection is made by the surgeon based on appearance of the diverticulum.
- Indications for surgery include:[6][7][8]
- Absence of a wide mouth
- Diverticula with fibrous bands
- Presence of ectopic gastric tissue
- Length of diverticulum more than 2cm
- Presence of stasis within the diverticulum
- Narrow neck of diverticulum may undergo twisting or obstruction
- Presence of intramural pathology
- Thickened, inflamed diverticulum
- Children
- Elderly patients
- Preferred technique in asymptomatic cases undergoing surgery: Tangential excision with suture closure of the base
Symptomatic Meckel diverticulum
- Absolute indications for resection of a symptomatic Meckel's diverticulum include complications such as:[9]
- Hemorrhage
- Umbilicoileal fistulas
- Inflammation of diverticulum: Diverticulitis
- Bowel obstruction
