Meckel's diverticulectomy is a surgical operation used to remove Meckel's diverticulum, a small congenital pouch present in the small intestine from birth. Surgery is advised when complications arise, particularly to treat intestinal bleeding (usually caused by ectopic gastric mucosa in children), intestinal obstruction, diverticulitis with inflammation or infection, perforation of the diverticulum, diverticulum-related intussusception or volvulus, and when there is suspicion of a tumour or abnormal tissue within the diverticulum.

Consult a doctor if you have blood in your stools (black or crimson stools), frequent abdominal discomfort, particularly near the navel, abdominal swelling with vomiting, signs of intestinal blockage such as no faeces passage or flatus, severe abdominal pain with fever, or sudden intense abdominal discomfort, which may indicate perforation. If the symptoms are severe or appear suddenly, seek emergency medical attention.

Surgical consultation and clinical evaluation, tests like electrolytes and CBC, coagulation profile, abdominal X-ray and ultrasound, abdominal CT scan (usually in adults), and Meckel's scan (Technetium-99m scan) when bleeding is suspected, as well as six to eight hours of fasting prior to surgery, IV fluid administration and stabilisation, particularly in cases of obstruction or bleeding, use of antibiotics if infection is suspected, and getting consent for both anaesthesia and surgery.

Meckel's diverticulectomy can be carried out by either laparoscopic or open surgery, in which the patient receives general anaesthesia, the surgeon accesses the small intestine and identifies the diverticulum, and then removes it either by performing a diverticulectomy (removal of the diverticulum alone) or a segmental bowel resection if the surrounding intestine is inflamed, bleeding, or perforated; after removal, intestinal continuity is restored by suturing or stapling

Depending on the surgical technique, the severity of the illness, and whether a bowel resection is necessary, the procedure normally takes one to two hours.

Possible risks include:

Bleeding
Complications from wounds or infections
Rare bowel leaking from the anastomosis site
Adhesion formation (may result in obstruction later on)
Damage to adjacent intestinal segments
Ileus following surgery (temporary cessation of bowel movements)
Anaesthesia risks

Meckel's diverticulectomy has several benefits, including as halting intestinal bleeding, reducing recurrent infections like diverticulitis, alleviating bowel blockage, avoiding potentially deadly perforation consequences, and enhancing long-term quality of life.

Most patients can get back to their regular activities within 1-2 weeks after laparoscopic surgery or 3-6 weeks after open surgery, with a follow-up appointment for wound assessment and recovery evaluation. Recovery involves a 3-7 day hospital stay (may vary), pain management and antibiotics if necessary, gradual dietary progression from liquids to soft diet to normal diet, and early mobilisation to prevent blood clots.

Meckel's diverticulectomy has excellent outcomes, with over 95% of patients experiencing a resolution of symptoms and problems and a low recurrence rate due to the total removal of the diverticulum.
