What is Meckel’s Diverticulum?
Meckel’s Diverticulum is a small pouch in the wall of the lower intestine, present from birth. It is a remnant of the vitelline duct, which normally disappears during fetal development. Though often asymptomatic, it can sometimes cause serious complications, especially in children.
Symptoms of Meckel’s Diverticulum
In most cases, Meckel’s Diverticulum doesn’t show any signs and is found incidentally. However, when symptoms appear, they may include:
Painless rectal bleeding (bright red or maroon-colored blood)
Abdominal pain or cramping
Nausea or vomiting
Signs of intestinal obstruction
Inflammation mimicking appendicitis
Bleeding is the most common symptom in children, and unexplained blood in the stool should be evaluated promptly.
Diagnosis and Treatment in Ghaziabad
Diagnosis can be challenging, but our Ghaziabad center offers advanced tools like Meckel’s scan (technetium-99m scan), ultrasound, and other imaging studies to confirm the presence of the diverticulum.
The standard treatment for symptomatic Meckel’s Diverticulum is surgical removal. This involves a minimally invasive or open procedure to excise the diverticulum and repair the intestinal wall. Surgery is generally safe, and recovery is quick when managed by experienced pediatric surgeons.
