 | | Surgical therapy: Surgery is the mainstay of therapy for urethral diverticulum. | | | Long-term follow-up of patients surgically treated for urethral diverticulum involves surveillance for recurrence. | | | Reports of successfully combining diverticulum excision and needle urethropexy or suburethral sling procedures can be found in the literature. |

| | urethral diverticulum |
| | Advanced diagnostic techniques including ultrasound (3) and MRI (4) may be utilized in some instances to evaluate the size of the diverticulum in relation to the urethral lumen. | | | I read with interest the information about urethral diverticulum and thought you might be interested in learning of my personal story with the same condition. | | | Surgical options include transurethral incision of the diverticular neck, marsupialization (creation of a permanent opening) of the diverticular sac into the vagina [often referred to as a Spence procedure] (6), and surgical excision (removal.) Surgical excision of a urethral diverticulum should be performed with caution. |

| | APSA :: For Parents: Meckel’s Diverticulum |
| | The diverticulum can bleed, become inflamed, rupture, and act as the point from which an intussusception (the upstream intestine moves inside the downstream intestine) can occur. | | | The risk of death from surgical removal in a patient who is not symptomatic should approach zero. | | | Twisting of the intestine around a band may be associated with reduced blood supply to the intestine. |

| | Records of those patients who had inflamed Meckel’s diverticulum, was also reviewed and included in the study. | | | The cause of obstruction 41 (65%) cases was internal herniation of the intestine in a gap between the inflamed tip of Meckel's and another part of intestine or mesentery or mesodiverticular bands. | | | Ectopic gastric mucosa near the base of Meckel’s diverticulum is responsible for many presentations like inflammation, recurrent abdominal pain due to ulceration of adjacent intestinal mucosa, perforation, and G.I. bleeding. |

| | American Family Physician: Meckel's Diverticulum |
| | Meckel's diverticulum arises from the antimesenteric border-the part of the intestine that lies opposite the mesenteric attachment. | | | In light of the patient's current condition, surgery was recommended for suspected Meckel's diverticulum. | | | A population-based study10 from 1950 to 1992 found the incidence of a diverticular complication to be 87.4 per 100,000 person-years, translating to a 6.4 percent lifetime risk (lifetime = 80 years of age) of a person developing a complication related to the diverticulum. |

| | Patients may present with an acute abdomen resulting from acute diverticulitis, intestinal obstruction, or perforation; however, most patients with Meckel diverticula are asymptomatic, and the diverticulum is found incidentally on imaging, surgery, or autopsy. | | | Intestinal obstruction is most often due to volvulus about the Meckel diverticulum or intussusception with the diverticulum as the lead point. | | | Although a conventional small-bowel barium meal is usually not helpful in routinely depicting Meckel diverticulum in many patients, the anomaly can be detected if careful technique is applied. |

| | Zenker's Diverticulum - Otolaryngology Houston |
| | Named after Friedrich Albert von Zenker (1825-1898), a German pathologist, Zenker's diverticulum is a pulsion diverticulum that arises from a muscular dehiscence between the oblique fibers of the inferior constrictor muscle and the transverse fibers of the cricopharyngeus muscle. | | | Eventually, a Zenker's diverticulum may lead to severe loss of weight and complete esophageal obstruction. | | | The main symptom is dysphagia (difficulty in swallowing). Food retained in the diverticulum may lead to spontaneous regurgitation, bad breath and choking. |

| | The most common presentation is painless hematochezia due to ulceration of the ectopic gastric mucosa contained within the diverticulum and this is the most common cause of painless hematochezia in patients less than 2 years old. | | | In a positive scan the patient develops immediate tracer localization in the stomach and in the right lower quadrant. | | | False positive Meckel scans can be caused by appendicitis, peptic ulcer, hemangioma, abscess, intussusception, Chron's disease, small bowel lymphoma, dilated or ectopic renal collecting structures, and intestinal duplications. |

| | Meckel's diverticulum is the most likely diagnosis given the clinical presentation and the location of radiotracer accumulation. | | | In virtually all patients who present with bleeding, ectopic gastric mucosa can be demonstrated in the diverticulum. | | | While the majority of patients remain asymptomatic, complications may include hemorrhage, volvulus, and intussusception, mostly in children younger than 10 years of age. |
