Abstract

This is a study of Meckel's diverticulum in adults who had undergone surgery in the hospital. The complications of Meckel's diverticulum are compared with that of the ones mentioned in the literature. A comparative study of the clinical features and the operative findings in case of Meckel's diverticulum with ectopic tissue is also discussed. The controversy of Meckel's diverticulectomy has also been dealt with at large.
