Abstract

Objective: In this study we aimed to investigate the treatment options and compare patient management with the literature for patients operated on for an acute abdomen who encountered complications due to inflammation of the Meckel’s diverticulum in our clinic. Material and Methods: Between October 2007 and October 2012, 14 patients were retrospectively analysed who had been operated on in the General Surgery Department, Ege University Medical Faculty Hospital, because of an acute abdomen and mechanical intestinal obstruction, and Meckel’s diverticulitis (MD) was identified as an etiological factor perioperatively and histopathologically. Results: Fourteen patients were retrospectively analysed who were operated on for Meckel’s diverticulitis and its complications. Radiologically, in abdominal computed tomography pathologies compatible with mechanical intestinal obstruction, Meckel’s diverticulitis and peridivertiküler abscess were reported, and free air in the abdomen was detected on direct abdominal X-ray. Fourteen patients were operated on because of complicated Meckel’s diverticula (obstruction, diverticulitis, perforation) and diverticulum excision was performed on 3 (21.4%) patients; right hemicolectomy + ileotransversostomi was performed on 1 (7.1%) patient and partial small bowel resection and end-to-end anastomosis was performed on 10 (71.5%) patients. Conclusion: Meckel’s diverticulum is a vestigial remnant of an omphalomesenteric channel in the small bowel. It is a real congenital diverticular anomaly that contains three layers of the small bowel. If Meckel’s diverticula are detected, incidental complications may occur such as ulceration, bleeding, bowel obstruction, diverticulitis or perforation, surgical excision should be performed. Meckel’s diverticulitis does not have specific clinical and radiological findings. Delayed diagnosis can lead to lethal septic complications. Complications associated with Meckel’s diverticulitis, especially if a definite diagnosis is not reached during the preoperative period, should be considered in the differential diagnosis. The presence of a complicated diverticulum indicates the appropriate approach should be emergency surgical intervention.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada kliniğimizde akut karın nedeniyle opere edilip, Meckel divertikülünün (MD) inflamasyonu sonucu gelişen komplikasyonlar ile karşılaşılan hastalardaki tedavi seçenekleri ve hasta yönetiminin literatür ile karşılaştırılarak irdelenmesi amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Ekim 2007-Ekim 2012 tarihleri arasında Ege Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Genel Cerrahi Anabilim Dalı’nda akut karın ve mekanik barsak tıkanıklığı nedeni ile opere edilen ve etyolojik neden olarak peroperatif ve histopatolojik olarak Meckel divertikülü tespit edilen 14 hasta retrospektif olarak incelendi. Bulgular: Meckel divertikülü ve buna bağlı komplikasyonlar nedeni ile opere edilen 14 hasta retrospektif olarak incelendi. Hastalarda radyolojik olarak abdominal bilgisayarlı tomografide mekanik barsak tıkanıklığı, Meckel divertikülü ve peridivertiküler abse ile uyumlu patolojiler ve direkt karın grafisinde serbest hava olduğu bildirildi. Meckel divertikülü komplikasyonu (tıkanıklık, divertikül, perforasyon) tanılı 14 hastadan 3’üne (%21,4) divertikül eksizyonu, 1 (%7,1) hastaya sağ hemikolektomi + ileotransversostomi ve 10 (%71,5) hastaya parsiyel ince barsak rezeksiyonu ve uç uca anastomoz uygulandı. Sonuç: Meckel divertikülü omfalomezenterik kanalın ince barsaktaki körelmiş bir kalıntısıdır. İnce barsağın üç katmanını da içeren gerçek divertiküler konjenital bir anomalidir. Ülserasyon, kanama, ince barsak tıkanıklığı, divertikülit, perforasyon gibi komplikasyonlar görülebileceğinden rastlantısal olarak saptandığında cerrahi eksizyon uygulanmalıdır. Meckel divertikülüne bağlı komplikasyonlar radyolojik ve klinik olarak spesifik bulgulara sahip değillerdir. Gecikmiş tanı ölümcül septik komplikasyonlara neden olabilmektedir. Meckel divertikülü ile ilişkili komplikasyonlar, özellikle preoperatif dönemde kesin tanıya ulaşılamamış hastalarda ayırıcı tanıda akılda tutulmalıdır. Komplike divertikül varlığında ise acil cerrahi müdahale uygun yaklaşım olacaktır.
