Bronchogenic cysts are cystic masses caused by congenital abnormal development of the respiratory system, and usually occur in the pulmonary parenchyma or mediastinum.

A rare case of a bronchogenic cyst discovered in the abdominal cavity of a 35-year-old man is reported. Physical examination found a space-occupying lesion in the patient’s abdomen for 4 d. Laparoscopic exploration found the cyst tightly adhered to the stomach and its peripheral blood vessels; therefore, intraoperative laparotomy was performed. The cystic mass was resected en bloc with an Endo-GIA stapler. The final postoperative pathological diagnosis confirmed an abdominal bronchogenic cyst.

This is a rare case of a bronchogenic cyst that was discovered within the abdominal cavity of a male patient. The cyst is easily confused with or misdiagnosed as other lesions. Therefore, it is necessary to distinguish abdominal bronchogenic cyst from gastrointestinal stromal tumor, Meckel’s diverticulum, enteric duplication cyst, or lymphangioma. Although computer tomography and magnetic resonance imaging were the primary diagnostic approaches, endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration could assist with clarification of the cytological or histopathological diagnosis before surgery.

Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is a common congenital anomaly of the digestive tract that affects around 4 % of the population. Although it is relatively common, diagnosis still remains very challenging; it requires an astute clinician with a high clinical index of suspicion to achieve the diagnosis. Once a diagnosis is reached, treatment is almost always surgical. This case report provides evidence of the effectiveness of a new robotic surgical system for resection of MD in the elderly.

61 year old male presented to the emergency room with recurrent hematochezia. After multiple diagnostic techniques, he was finally diagnosed with MD using Meckel's scan. After diagnosis, surgical resection using the Cambridge Medical Robotics (CMR) Versius robotic system was performed, which yielded good results.

This case highlights the use of a new robotic system for the treatment of Meckel's Diverticulum.

Our initial experience with the CMR Versius surgical system in small bowel resection was successful; however, further studies are needed to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of such a system.

Meckel's diverticulum can persist in the elderly, thus ruling out the disease based on age is not reasonable.

Meckel's diverticulum is a true diverticulum consisting of all three layers of the small intestine resulting from incomplete regression of the vitelline duct. While it is often benign, it can present with serious complications such as intussusception, ulceration, torsion, hemorrhage, obstruction, inflammation, and fistula formation. Although it typically presents in infancy and early childhood, it can also manifest much later into adulthood. We report a case of Meckel's diverticulum complicated by significant bleeding in a 33-year-old female patient. Diagnosis was accomplished with video capsule endoscopy and a technetium-99 m pertechnetate scan. The patient responded well to acid suppression, initially with an H₂ blocker and later with a PPI (proton pump inhibitor), and remained asymptomatic for nearly four months in the interim to definitive surgical treatment. Microscopic examination of the resected diverticulum confirmed the presence of ectopic gastric mucosa. A PubMed literature search revealed several similar cases of Meckel's diverticulum complicated by hemorrhage with a favorable response to H₂ blockers and PPIs. While surgical resection remains the mainstay of definitive treatment, medications aimed at acid suppression can delay the need for urgent surgery, allow for diagnostic assessment, and optimize conditions for elective surgical treatment.

Meckel’s diverticulum (MD) is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract. Its course is usually benign but may also result in complications requiring surgical intervention. A diverticulum may also permit the removal of intraluminal objects without bowel resection and anastomosis.

A woman in her 50s was found to have a mechanical small bowel obstruction secondary to an intraluminal mass within the terminal ileum. On exploration, an MD was encountered proximal to the mass. A diverticulectomy was performed after maneuvering the enterolith into the diverticulum.

Meckel’s diverticulum with an associated enterolith is a rare cause of small bowel obstruction. Historic imaging may show long-standing stones in the bowel lumen and provide a diagnostic clue. Diverticulectomy may be performed to reduce the risks of small bowel resection and anastomosis. This technique can be used for other intraluminal objects requiring removal in the presence of an MD.

Background: Meckel’s diverticulum is a common congenital abnormality of the gastrointestinal tract encountered in about 1–3% of the general population. Although most patients remain asymptomatic, a minority will experience serious complications such as acute abdomen, haemorrhage or obstructive ileus. Of all patients presenting with symptoms of obstruction due to Meckel’s diverticulum 7–18% is due to volvulus. Case Report: A 39-year-old male with multiple previous episodes of obstructive ileus presented with an acute abdomen. An exploratory laparotomy was performed in order to reveal the cause of the obstruction. An internal hernia with ileal volvulus and a Meckel’s diverticulum was found, which was later confirmed by histopathological examination. Conclusion: Meckel’s diverticulum is a rare cause of acute abdomen and obstructive ileus which should be considered when the symptoms date back to childhood. The difficulty of preoperative diagnosis dictates the need for exploratory laparoscopy or laparotomy as diagnostic tools.

Inverted Meckel's diverticulum is an entity often discovered incidentally or through a clinical evaluation for gastrointestinal bleeding. While rare, inverted Meckel's diverticulum should be considered in the evaluation of a patient presenting with gastrointestinal bleeding, intestinal obstruction, or intussusception. In this case, a 67-year-old female with a remote history of surgically treated breast cancer presents to an urgent care facility with weakness and fatigue. She was found to be anemic with hemoglobin of 4. Imaging revealed a blind-ending pouch in the mid to distal ileum consistent with an inverted Meckel's diverticulum. Inverted Meckel's diverticulum is identified on computerized tomography as an intraluminal, blind-ending structure in the mid to distal ileum. The possibility of a lead point should be investigated and surgical resection is indicated to prevent intestinal obstruction.

Littré’s hernia (LH) is a rare clinical entity defined by the presence of Meckel’s diverticulum (MD) within a hernial sac. Although MD is the most common congenital abnormality of the intestinal tract, most of its cases remain asymptomatic. It may, however, manifest itself in the form of multiple complications. One of its rare complications is LH, which is reported occurring in a mere 1% of all MD cases. The anamneses of LH are like any other hernia containing the gut, making its preoperative diagnosis unlikely. We present herein a case of a 16-year-old boy with an incarcerated LH at the inguinal region, which was successfully treated by wedge resection of the diverticulum followed by hernia repair.

Meckel’s diverticulum (MD), a congenital abnormality of the gastrointestinal tract, is usually found in the pediatric population younger than two years of age; hence, its incidence in adults is rare. Although MD is mostly clinically silent, in adults, it may present with intestinal obstruction and diverticulitis. The complications of MD include hemorrhage, perforation, enterolith formation, torsion, Littre’s hernia, ulceration and neoplasm. Among these, torsion is one of the rarely reported complications of MD. MD being attached to the ileal mesentery or umbilicus, presence of mesodiverticular band, and the length, breadth and base diameter of the diverticulum contribute as a risk factor for torsion. A similar clinical picture of acute appendicitis must be excluded.

We report a case of a 25-year-old male who presented with signs of intestinal obstruction in whom intraoperative finding of a torted MD with necrotic and twisted base was found upon emergency exploratory laparotomy.
