[The complicated forms of Meckel diverticulum].

20 patients with the complicated forms of Meckel diverticulum are treated. The nosological forms were: acute diverticulitis (n=16), acute ileus (n=2), intestinal bleeding (n=1) and perforation of diverticular wall with foreign body n=1). All cases were diagnosed only intraoperatively. The majority of patients with the acute diverticulitis presented a clinical picture of an acute appendicitis, on the cause of which they were operated on. Meckel diverticulum was found 40-140 sm from the ileocecal angle. Surgical treatment consisted of the wedge ileal resection and, in 6 patients, appendectomy. There were no deaths.
