How Laparoscopic Meckel's Diverticulectomy is performed
This procedure is mostly performed under general anesthesia and is suitable for Meckel's diverticulum with clear localization. If applicable, wedge or base resection can be selected, and the instruments can be a stapler or suture. Usually, laparoscopes and operating instruments are placed through several small incisions, the ileum is explored, the diverticulum is separated and resected, the intestinal wall is repaired and hemostasis is performed if necessary, and the specimen is taken out for pathology. Postoperative monitoring includes bleeding, pain, and bowel function, with gradual feeding, aiming to relieve symptoms and restore bowel patency. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
