Meckels diverticulectomy
Definition
Meckel's diverticulectomy is surgery to remove an abnormal pouch (Meckel's diverticulum) in the wall of the small intestine.
Description
The procedure is done while you are under general anesthesia, which means you are asleep and feel no pain during the procedure. The surgeon makes a cut into right side of the lower abdomen and located the small intestine. The diverticulum is removed. Sometimes a small part of the intestine may need to be removed along with the diverticulum. In this case, the ends of each part of the intestine are sewn back together.
Why the Procedure is Performed
Inflammation or infection of Meckel's diverticulum (diverticulitis) can be mistaken for appendicitis. The most common symptom of Meckel's diverticulitis is painless bleeding from the rectum. The stools may contain fresh blood or may look black and tarry.
Recovery
After surgery, the health care team will carefully monitor you and give you medicine to relieve any pain. You will receive fluids by IV until bowel sounds are heard, and then you can resume eating by mouth. A nasogastric tube may be placed through your nose into the stomach to empty the stomach. Antibiotics may be given to prevent or treat infection. Most patients leave the hospital within a week after surgery, if there are no complications.
Outlook (Prognosis)
The outcome of any surgery depends on many conditions. Your health care provider can give you a good idea of your likely outcome.
Risks
Risks for any anesthesia include the following:
- Reactions to medications
- Problems breathing
