Application of single port laparoscopy in classification and treatment of Meckel's diverticulum in children / 重庆医学

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the feasibility of single port laparoscopy in classification and treatment of Meckel's diverticulum in children and its guiding treatment.Methods The clinical data in 75 children cases of Meckel's diverticulum with symptoms treated in our hospital from Aug.2011 to Aug.2015 were retrospectively analyzed.Meckel's diverticulum was classified under single port laparoscopy.The operation modes were selected according to different classifications.The excised materials were submitted to the pathologic examination.Results Among 75 children cases,50 cases were the simple type of Meckel's diverticulum and 25 cases were complex type of Meckel's diverticulum.The average operative time in the simple type and complex type was (38.93±8.75) min and(55.64 ± 13.27) min respectively,average bleeding amounts were (46.58 ± 15.81) mL and (50.12 [16.90) mL respectively,average postoperative hospitalization time was (7.33±1.41)d and (7.52 ± 1.68)d respectively,the operative time in the simple type was less than that in the complex type(P＜0.05),the other two indexes had no statistical difference between the two groups(P＞0.05).The ectopic gastric mucosal pathological change was only seen in the simple type,while the inflammatory manifestation in the complex type had higher proportion.The main clinical manifestations were lower gestational tract bleeding and infection.The two groups all obtained follow up.One case of simple type appeared the symptoms of abdominal pain and hematochezia and was cured after the second operation.Conclusion Meckel's diverticulum can be divided into the simple type and complex type under single port laparoscopy.The operation mode can be selected according to different types.This method is safe and reliable and is worthy of being clinically promoted.
