Abstract A 65-year-old male patient presented with a chief complaint of abdominal pain. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) showed slight intestinal dilation and obstruction of the upper right quadrant of the small intestine, while ectopic gastric mucosal scintigraphy revealed abnormal accumulation in agreement with the CT-identified structure. The cause of bowel obstruction was diagnosed as Meckel’s diverticulum; the patient was referred for surgery. A small laparotomy was performed with a 35-mm skin incision to the center of the navel. Once a lap disk was attached, a laparoscope was inserted to visualize the abdominal cavity. The small intestine that includes the structure was pulled out from the umbilicus to the outside of the peritoneal cavity and partially resected. On the pathological tissue findings, the patient was diagnosed with Meckel’s diverticulum. We report our experience with single-lap laparoscopic surgery for a case of intestinal obstruction caused by Meckel’s diverticulum and review pertinent literature.

Abstract Background and study aims Diagnosis of Meckel’s diverticulum (MD) before surgery may be challenging; double-balloon endoscopy (DBE) facilitates identification of MD in the setting of a gastrointestinal bleeding; however, MD can be found incidentally without this condition. The purpose of this research was to determine specific characteristic of hemorrhagic MD and incidental MD at DBE. Patients and methods Ectopic gastric mucosa enclosed in the MD and/or ulceration were defined as “major findings”; ring-like scar surrounding the MD was defined as “minor finding”. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients affected by MD and analyzed the findings that significantly affected the characterization of MD. Results MD was diagnosed in 33 patients. The axis of the diverticulum was longer in hemorrhagic MD compared to incidental MD (P = 0.031). The amount of transfusion was significantly higher (P = 0.018) in the hemorrhagic MD group. Hemorrhagic MD was significantly more correlated with major findings (P = 0.01) and minor findings (P < 0.01). The specificity of major finding was 100 % while the sensitivity of major and/or minor findings was 96 %. Conclusions The combination of major and minor findings appears to improve the diagnostic ability of hemorrhagic MD avoiding unnecessary diverticulectomy.
