HighlightsThe most commom complications of Meckel’s diverticulum are inflammation, haemorrhage, and intestinal obstruction.The perforation of a Meckel’s diverticulum by a foreign body is a very rare complication, with few cases reported in the literature.Definitive treatment is surgical intervention, and should not be delayed by supplementary radiographic imaging in patients with peritonitis.
There were 68 male and 47 female patients. The median age was 58 years (range 41-76 years). Operative time (306 versus 265 min for coPD group versus RAMPD group; P = 0.003), intraoperative blood loss (700 versus 400 ml. P = 0.002), postoperative haemorrhage (11 versus 3 per cent; P = 0.040), surgical complications (31 versus 15 per cent; P = 0.011) and R1 resection margin (11 versus 3 per cent; P = 0.040) were significantly reduced after RAMPD. Conclusion: RAMPD with a C-from resection, using a multiple artery-first approach is a safe and feasible technique, and we advocate this procedure as a promising option for PD.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
