    Abstract:
    A Meckel's diverticulum (M.d.) was seen in 70 children. Among 3233 appendectomies 58 M.d. (1.79%) were observed, in 12 cases the laparotomy was necessary for other reasons. 6 of 70 children (8.5%) with M.d. had complications due to the diverticulum. Ectopic tissue was found in 4 cases. Postoperative complications were not observed at the own patients.
