On examination, the abdomen was soft and distended with diffuse tenderness Bowel sounds are absent. An X-ray of the erect abdomen showed dilated bowel loops with multiple air fluid levels noted.

An adhesive band formed between Meckel?s diverticulum and around the small bowel is attached to the peritoneum at umbilical level. The ileum and jejunum dilated. Gangrenous meckel's diverticulum of size 12 cm in length, 4 cm in breadth, and 60 cm from the ileocecal junction noted. Resection of Meckel?s diverticulum including 15cms of ileum done and end-to-end ileo-ileal anastomosis done. The abdomen is closed after keeping bilateral flank drains.
