Overview

Surgery is the primary treatment modality in patients with Meckel's diverticula. Asymptomatic patients are treated in the presence of features such as narrow diverticular mouth, fibrous bands, ectopic gastric tissue, diverticular length >2cm, stasis, narrow neck, intramural pathology, thickening and inflammation of the diverticulum. On the other hand, absolute indications for resection of a symptomatic Meckel's diverticulum include complications such as hemorrhage, umbilico ileal fistulas, diverticulitis and bowel obstructionFibrous band division, diverticulectomy, segmental resection of the diverticulum with end-to-end intestinal anastomosis and wedge resection are the various surgical procedures performed, whenever indicated.
