  • Title: [Active search for Meckel's diverticulum].
    Author: Kapral W.
    Journal: Chirurg; 1979 Apr; 50(4):239-43. PubMed ID: 446234.
    Abstract:
    Examination for Meckel's diverticulum is generally performed in each case of laparotomy where the incision allows observation of the small bowel without danger of spreading the infection. In 65 cases, pathologic alterations were found in 14 (= 21,5%). Postoperative bowel obstruction due to resection of Meckel's diverticulum has been found twice (3%), one patient died. It is suggested that Meckel's diverticulum be removed whenever possible.
