Purpose: Meckel diverticulum (MD), caused by an obliteration defect of the omphalomesenteric duct, is one of the most common congenital anomalies of small intestines. The objective of this study was to review surgical outcomes of MD and evaluate the feasibility of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) in MD.
Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of the medical records of patients who underwent diverticulectomy for MD at 6 Hallym University-affiliated hospitals between January 2008 and December 2017.
