Inverted Meckel’s diverticulum: Two case reports and a review of the literature
Gastrointestinal surgeons seldom encounter inverted Meckel’s diverticulum in their clinical practice. We describe two cases of inverted Meckel’s diverticulum. If the patient has a disease-related complication such as intussusception, as with our first case, it can be easily detected. However, if the...

description | Gastrointestinal surgeons seldom encounter inverted Meckel’s diverticulum in their clinical practice. We describe two cases of inverted Meckel’s diverticulum. If the patient has a disease-related complication such as intussusception, as with our first case, it can be easily detected. However, if the patient has subacute or chronic symptoms, as with our second case, the diagnosis might be delayed. Regardless of the disease-related complication, intussusception of inverted Meckel’s diverticulum can be easily managed with laparoscopic single-port surgery. |
