The Clinical Manifestation Variety and Management Choice of Meckel's Diverticulum with Complication: A Single Center Experience

CONCLUSION: The clinical characteristics of Meckel's diverticulum varied. Children with hematochezia, peritonitis, and intestinal obstruction without history of prior abdominal operation should be suspected with this disease until proven otherwise. Hematochezia is often associated with ectopic gastric mucosa in the diverticulum. Laparoscopic surgery should be one of the choices for the diagnosis and treatment of Meckel's diverticulum with complications.PMID:33628226 | PMC:PMC7886519 | DOI:10.1155/2021/6640660
