(Figs.3 and 4). The tip of the appendix is grasped and retracted medially and ante­riorly providing complete exposure.
11.3 Ligation ofMesoappendix
Our preferred approach is to transect the mesoappendix with a bipolar vessel sealing system, such as LigaSure device (Figs.5 and 6). This method avoids the need to create a mesoappendiceal window, decreasing the chance of appendiceal artery injury. Alternatively, a window can be created in the base of the mesoappendix adja­cent to the appendix. This maneuver can be performed with a Maryland or blunt

grasper. Once the window is complete, the mesoappendix and associated appendi­ceal artery can be divided using a bipolar vessel sealing system, ultrasonic sheers or a linear stapler with a vascular load. Due to the stapler size, it must be placed into the abdomen via the periumbilical 12mm port, necessitating the 10mm laparo­scopic camera to be exchanged for a 5mm camera and moved to the left lower quadrant 5mm port.
11.4 Transection ofAppendix
The appendix is then divided with an endo-GIA stapler paying careful attention to ensure that stapler is located at the appendiceal base, and taking care to not include the ileocecal valve or cecum (Fig.7). A standard 30 or 45mm stapler is typically appropriate with a blue load. An alternative method for dividing the appendix is using a pre-tied endoscopic ligature. Once resected, the appendix is placed into an endoscopic retrieval bag and brought out through the 12 mm umbilical port or port site.

11.5 Inspection andClosure
The staple line is closely inspected for staple malformation or ongoing bleeding (Fig. 8). The right lower quadrant, pelvis, and right subdiaphragmatic space are inspected for any contamination and irrigated until the efuent appears clear. Omentum is placed in the right lower quadrant covering the operative site. The 5mm trocars are then removed under direct visualization followed by the 12mm trocar. The abdomen is desufated and the fascial defect at the umbilical trocar site is closed with an absorbable gure-of-eight suture. The skin is closed with subcu­ticular sutures and either steri-strips, topical skin adhesive, or gauze with tegaderm (Fig.9).

12 Open Appendectomy: Procedure Description
12.1 Abdominal Access
A 2–6cm incision is made at McBurney’s point in either a transverse (Rocky-Davis) or parallel (McBurney) fashion. Rarely, a lower midline incision may be used to facilitate exposure in the obese population, or extension of umbilical port in a lapa­roscopic converted to open operation. The incision is carried down to the external oblique which is incised parallel to its bers. The internal oblique is then bluntly separated exposing the transversus abdominus and underlying transversalis fascia, which is then divided. The peritoneum is exposed, lifted and incised, opening a window into the peritoneal cavity.
12.2 Identication ofAppendix
Once the peritoneal cavity has been accessed, the appendix and cecum are identied and delivered anteriorly toward the working space through mobilization via blunt or sharp dissection of the retroperitoneal attachments. In cases when the appendix is difcult to locate, the surgeon utilizes the taenia coli of the cecum to trace them inferiorly and thus identify the base of the appendix.

12.3 Ligation ofMesoappendix
The mesoappendix and adjoining appendiceal artery are ligated via non-absorbable suture and subsequent division, utilization of LigaSure device, or transected with a GIA or TA stapler.
12.4 Ligation ofAppendix
Similar to the laparoscopic technique, a GIA or TA stapler is utilized to transect the appendix. An alternative method is suture ligation, in which the appendiceal base is rst suture ligated. Subsequently, a purse-string suture is then placed in the cecum surrounding the base of the appendix. The appendix is divided just beyond the suture ligature. Electrocautery may be used to cauterize the appendix with the inten­tion of preventing a mucoceole. The appendiceal stump is inverted into the cecum and the purse-string suture secured to invert the appendiceal base.
12.5 Inspection andClosure
Once the appendix and mesoappendix are removed from the operative eld, hemo­stasis is ensured and the right lower quadrant inspected. If spillage is present, the area is aspirated and irrigated with several liters of normal saline until the efuent is clear. The peritoneum and transversalis fascia are closed with a running suture fol­lowed by closure of the internal oblique with another running suture. The external oblique fascia is closed with a running suture. The subcutaneous tissue is closed with interrupted sutures. The skin is closed with subcuticular sutures and then with either steri-strips or topical skin adhesive. The skin is typically left open or inter­rupted if the appendix is perforated to allow drainage.
12.6 Special Postoperative Considerations
In uncomplicated cases, further use of antibiotics after resection is not indicated. In complicated cases or cases where the appendix is perforated, antibiotics may be given for 4–7days [15]. Recent data, such as the STOP-IT trial, suggests that a xed duration of 4days of antibiotic treatment after obtaining source control results in similar outcomes when compared to longer antibiotic courses, and subsequently

leads to fewer days of antibiotic exposure for patients in the era of antibiotic stew­ardship [16]. Patients’ clinical parameters should normalize within 24 to 48h fol­lowing operative intervention, if they do not, suspicion for a surgical complication such as abscess, staple line leak, staple line bleed, hematoma, or missed enterotomy is indicated and should prompt further investigation.

Meckel’s Diverticulum
https://t.me/med1917

1 Background
First described by Johann Friedrich Meckel in 1809 [1], a Meckel diverticulum is a congenital true diverticulum that persists as a result of incomplete atrophy of the vitelline (omphalomesenteric) duct [2]. Characteristics of this anomaly are typically described by the “Rule of 2’s”: occurring in 2% of the population, 2 inches long, within 2feet of the ileocecal valve, containing 2 types of tissue, 2 times as likely to present in males, and presenting before 2 years old [2]. In reality, a systematic review conducted by Hansen etal. found the prevalence of Meckel diverticulum to be 0.3–2.9% and up to 4 times more common in males, while diverticulum length ranged from 0.4–11cm [3].
2 Presentation
The three most common presentations of symptomatic Meckel diverticulum are lower gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, intestinal obstruction, or diverticulitis [2, 3]. GI bleeding occurs in patients whose Meckel diverticulum contains heterotopic gas­tric mucosa, which, similar to a gastric ulcer, can cause patients to pass painless

blood per rectum as the excess acid production from the heterotopic gastric tissue causes ulceration of the mucosa [3]. Obstructive symptoms can arise due to two separate processes. In some patients, the diverticulum intussuscepts within the small bowel resulting in obstruction. For others, obstructive symptoms may occur second­ary to volvulus: a brous stalk may persist from failed involution of the omphalo­mesenteric duct, thus leaving a point of attachment to the umbilicus or the base of the mesentery around which the small bowel can twist, resulting in volvulus and subsequent obstruction [2]. Finally, in patients who develop diverticulitis, this can occur as a disease process similar to appendicitis due to an obstructed diverticular lumen or as a result of inammation of the heterotopic tissue within the diverticu­lum. Just like appendicitis, the diverticulum may perforate, causing patients to pres­ent in different ways, ranging from focal peritonitis to septic shock depending on the extent of inammation and perforation [2]. Overall, children are more likely to present with obstruction (60.1%) or GI hemorrhage (35.6%), while symptomatic adults have a more even distribution of symptoms; 35.6% with obstruction, 27.3% with GI bleed, and 29.4% with inammation [3].
Rarely, a Meckel diverticulum may be discovered as part of a Littre hernia; which is a hernia sac containing a Meckel diverticulum. A systematic review by Schizas et al. found the incidence of Littre hernia to be too low to accurately describe, but it has been discovered as part of inguinal, umbilical, femoral, or obtu­rator hernias and thus may present with symptoms of pain or obstruction similar to any of these types of hernias [4].
3 Pre-operative Evaluation
As part of the workup, basic labs including a complete blood cell count can be obtained to evaluate for leukocytosis as a marker of inammation or for down­trending hemoglobin suggesting GI bleeding. The imaging study of choice is a
99m
Tc-pertechnetate scan, as this molecule accumulates in gastric mucosa, facilitat­ing the identication of ectopic gastric mucosa contained in a Meckel diverticulum (Fig.1) [5, 6]. Sensitivity of this scan is reported at 85–90% in the pediatric popula­tion and about 60% in the adult population [5]. Additionally, it must be remembered that this study is only useful in the case of patients with ectopic gastric mucosa within the diverticulum [7]. Plain radiographs are of limited utility, but may demon­strate enteroliths or evidence of bowel obstruction [7]. Ultrasound or computed tomography (CT) imaging may show a uid- or gas-lled blind-ending structure connected to the small bowel (Fig. 2); additionally, CT may better demonstrate associated pathology, such as enteroliths within the diverticulum, intussusception, or bowel obstruction [7].
Meckel’s Diverticulum

Fig. 1 The most sensitive scan to detect a Meckel diverticulum is a technetium (Tc)-99m pertechnetate nuclear medicine, often referred to as “Meckel scan.” In this study, the tracer molecule is taken up by gastric mucosa and is visualized in the upper abdomen as well as the bladder. If a Meckel diverticulum containing gastric mucosa is present, a separate focus of uptake can be visualized in the right hemi-abdomen at the site of the Meckel. (Image credit: Kara Gill, MD)

As with any surgical patient, ensure adequate intravenous access and resuscitation prior to proceeding to the operating room. Patients with obstructive symptoms or diverticulitis may require uid administration in the setting of dehydration from poor

oral intake or sepsis from intra-abdominal perforation and require possible decom­pression with a nasogastric tube; for those with GI bleeding, pre-operative red blood cell transfusion may be necessary. Prophylaxis with a rst generation cephalosporin such as cefazolin is recommended unless in the setting of obstruction or perforation in which an antibiotic that covers enteric anaerobes should be considered [8].
5 Procedure
Operative treatment of Meckel diverticulum can be performed via laparotomy or laparoscopy. Laparoscopy is often used, especially in pediatric patients, to conrm presence of a Meckel diverticulum in cases where pre-operative workup has been non-diagnostic [9]. If the diagnosis is known preoperatively, laparoscopy is still preferred with no increase in post-operative complications [10]. In these cases, con­version to laparotomy may still occur for exteriorization of the bowel for small bowel resection (SBR) or may be necessary due to severity of disease.
Laparoscopy can be performed either with a standard three port set-up similar to an appendectomy (umbilical, left lower quadrant, and suprapubic ports) or with a single incision at the umbilicus with a multi-trocar port system. As the Meckel diverticulum may still have attachment to the umbilicus, the Hassan technique is preferred for obtaining umbilical access. If the diverticulum is not readily apparent upon entry, identify the cecum and terminal ileum, then run the small bowel proxi­mally until the diverticulum is identied (Fig.3).
Once the diverticulum is identied, a diverticulectomy can be performed via tangential ring of a TA or GIA (open) or endo GIA (laparoscopic) stapler (Fig.4), ensuring that an adequate lumen remains or by performing a SBR with a stapled or
