ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the utilization of laparoscopy in the diagnosis and treatment of Meckel’s diverticulum in children. Methods A total of 16 children with Meckel’s diverticulum underwent laparoscopic procedures between June 1999 and February 2003. With the help of celioscopy, the focus of the intestines is detected and pulled out through the umbilical port. The wedge resection of diverticulum or enterectomy with anastomosis was then performed. Results The operative time was 75 ～ 150 min, with a mean of 92 min. The patients began to take food on the third postoperative day. No operative complications occurred. The postoperative hospital stay was 5～7 d, with a mean of 5.8 d. Follow-up for 4～44 months (mean, 19.4 months) in the 16 patients showed no intestinal adhesion. Conclusions Laparoscopy is safe and effective in the diagnosis and treatment of Meckel’s diverticulum.
