Abstract:

Meckel’s diverticulum (MD) presents with a wide range of pathology, clinical features, diagnostic challenges, and surgical options. In the absence of standardized guidelines, management often varies across institutions. We conducted a retrospective review of MD cases treated at our institution to assess presentations, diagnostic approaches, and surgical outcomes. Our analysis highlights the variability in clinical presentation and preoperative diagnosis, as well as the individualized nature of intraoperative decision-making. This case series highlights our experience and emphasizes that, until clearer guidelines are established, management of MD continues to depend on case-by-case assessment and available institutional resources.
