Once diagnosed, all patients underwent surgery consisting in excision of the aganglionar colorectal segment, retrorectal lowering of the healthy colon and exteriorization through the fibers of the internal anal sphincter. A side-to-side transanal anastomosis between the healthy colon and diseased rectum (Duhamel II) was fashioned. All the patients had a satisfactory evolution with little immediate morbidity.

It represents 10% of all complications of Meckel's diverticulum (8.8% of our cases), and complications like hemorrhage, perforation and diverticulitis are fairly frequent. Four cases of Littre's hernia are presented: two males and two females, with an average age of 67 years (range 50-83 years), representing 0.08% of all the inguinal-crural hernias operated in the department. The clinical manifestations were those of intestinal obstruction because a mixed type Littre's hernia was involved, with compromise of the diverticulum and its intestinal loop. Preoperative diagnosis is unlikely in strangulation without disturbances in the intestinal transit and, in fact, is even less likely if it is accompanied by obstruction. The diagnosis is thus almost always intraoperative. The correct treatment is surgery after restoring the patient's hemodynamic equilibrium. Simple and/or loop diverticulectomy via herniotomy, herniolaparotomy or laparotomy are debated. We think that this disorder can generally be resolved using the inguinal approach, as in any strangled hernia, with the technical option of using a larger, more comfortable and safer approach in cases of important obesity and/or deterioration of the loop (necrosis, perforation). In elderly patients with uncomplicated Littre's hernia and Meckel's diverticulum, abstention from diverticular exeresis may be justifiable. Of the four patients, the first two died from cardiogenic shock and pulmonary embolism, respectively; the last two evolved well (except for a wound abscess).</p>","PeriodicalId":76457,"journal":{"name":"Revista espanola de las enfermedades del aparato digestivo","volume":"76 5","pages":"443-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"13758997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
