Abstract

BACKGROUND: In this study we present our experience in the surgical treatment of complicated Meckel's diverticulum. METHODS: The data of eight patients who underwent surgery due to complications of Meckel's diverticulum between 1994-2001 was retrospectively assessed. RESULTS: There were six males and two females with a mean age of 31 years (range 13 to 65). Preoperative diagnoses were acute surgical abdomen in six and incarcerated inguinal hernias in two patients. Intraoperative diagnoses were as follows; Littre's hernia in two, diverticulitis in two, perforation of the diverticulum in one and intestinal obstruction in three patients (there was a band extending from diverticulum to the umbilicus in two patients and a mesodiverticular band in the remaining one). While diverticulectomies were performed in five patients, three had small bowel resections. The mean diameter of the diverticula was 2.3 cm (range 2 to 4) and the mean length was 3.5 cm (range 3 to 8). Postoperative intestinal obstruction was observed in one patient who had underwent diverticulectomy and subsequently a small bowel resection was performed. CONCLUSION: Being aware of the complications of the Meckel's diverticulum is necessary in correct timing of the surgery and selecting the proper incision in patients with acute abdomen. This will result in decreased morbidity.

Özet

Komplikasyonlu Meckel divertikülü nedeniyle cerrahi uyguladığımız olguları sunmak. Gereç ve yöntem: Kliniğimizde 1994-2001 yıllan arasında ameliyat edilen ve komplikasyonlu Meckel divertikülü saptanan 8 olgu retrospektif olarak incelendi. Bulgular: Hastaların 6'sı erkek, 2'si kadın olup, yaş ortalaması 31(13-65) idi. Olguların 6'sı akut karın, 2'si boğulmuş fıtık ön tanıları ile ameliyata alındı. Ameliyatta olguların 3'ünde intestinal obstruksiyon, 2'sinde Littre fıtığı, 2'sinde diver-tikülit, l'inde ise divertikül perforasyonu tespit edildi. Intestinal obstruksiyon saptanan olguların 2'sinde divertikülden göbeğe uzanan bant, l 'inde ise mezodivertiküler bant mevcuttu. Beş olguda divertikülektomi yapılırken 3 olguda ileuma rezeksiyon ve uç uca anastomoz yapıldı. Ortalama divertikül çapı 2.3 cm (2-4), ortalama divertikül uzunluğu ise 3.5 cm (3-8) idi. Divertikülektomi yapılan bir olguda postoperatif intestinal obstruksiyon saptandı ve divertikülektomi yapılan ileum segmenti rezeke edildi. Sonuç: Komplikasyonlu Meckel divertiküllerinin klinik özelliklerinin iyi bilinmesi akut karın ön tanılı hastalarda insizyon seçimi, cerrahi girişim zamanının planlanması, tanı yanılması ve morbiditede artma gibi problemlerin oluşmasını önleyecektir.
