Abstract

Purpose: To observe the clinical effect of laparoscopic surgery on Meckel's diverticulum in children with (MD). Method: The clinical data of 20 children were analyzed retrospectively. All children were treated with laparoscopic surgery at single part of the umbilical cord, and the operation, clinical effects and postoperative complications were observed. Result: All the 20 children completed the operation successfully, and the operation time was 50. 5%. 2 ±5. 4) there were no complications such as abdominal pain, abdominal distension, vomiting, bleeding, intestinal adhesion obstruction, intestinal stricture and intestinal anastomotic fistula during and after min,. During the follow-up of 1 ~ 26 months, all the children ate and defecated normally and there was no recurrence. Conclusion: Umbilical laparoscopy is effective in the treatment of pediatric MD with less trauma, simple operation, short operation time and quick recovery after operation. Background Meckel's diverticulum is the most common congenital developmental malformation of the gastrointestinal tract, which is a mesenteric malformation caused by embryonic yolk tube degeneration. The incidence in the population is 2.0%, most patients have no clinical symptoms, occasionally found in autopsy, laparotomy, clinical diagnosis is more difficult. The clinical manifestations of its complications are easy to be confused with other diseases such as intussusception, colonic polyps, necrotizing enteritis and acute appendicitis perforation. Date sources Based on the progress in the treatment of Meckel's diverticulum in children at home and abroad, the clinical data of 20 children with Meckel's diverticulum treated in our hospital were analyzed retrospectively to observe the clinical effect of laparoscopy-assisted operation in the treatment of Meckel's diverticulum in children. Results All the 20 children completed the operation successfully, and the operation time was 50. 5%. 2 ±5. 4) there were no complications such as abdominal pain, abdominal distension, vomiting, bleeding, intestinal adhesion obstruction, intestinal stricture and intestinal anastomotic fistula during and after min,. During the follow-up of 1 ~ 26 months, all the children ate and defecated normally and there was no recurrence. Conclusions Surgical resection is the first choice for symptomatic Meckel diverticulum in children, and laparoscopic surgery is the first choice. The operative method of laparoscopic treatment of Meckel diverticulum in children with single part of umbilical cord has the advantages of less trauma, simple operation, short operation time and quick recovery after operation, and the operative effect is good.

Highlights

  • Meckel's diverticulum, MD, known as distal ileal diverticulum, is a congenital intestinal malformation caused by residual yolk tube in early embryo, with an incidence of 1-2%, which is 2-4 times higher in males than in females [1,2]

  • Transumbilical laparoscopic exploration can directly observe the condition of children with MD, and it can be treated by operation at the same time of diagnosis, which has certain advantages

  • We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 20 children with MD treated by single-site laparoscopic surgery in our department, in order to provide Journal of Surgery 2020; 8(1): 34-37 reference for the diagnosis and treatment of children with MD
