| Popis: | Meckel's diverticulum is the commonest congenital anomaly of the small intestine. It can, however, present acutely relating to a number of complications that may require emergency surgery and possible bowel resection. Perforation is a rare complication and there are only seven cases reported of an inflamed Meckel's diverticulum due to a chicken bone. Laparoscopic repair of Meckel's diverticulum-associated complications has gained popularity over the recent years. We present a case of chicken bone perforation that was treated with laparoscopic-assisted extracorporeal resection of the affected small bowel segment. |
