[Mechanical occlusion of alimentary tract caused by the adhesion of gangrene-related changes in Meckel's diverticulum].
The case concerns the occlusion of alimentary canal caused by the incarceration of small intestine in the ring of internal hernia. The ring was formed by pathologically changed Meckel's diverticulum, which had accreted to the internal surface of the abdominal cavity in the umbilical region. Appendicitis occurred as the secondary result of this pnenomenon. This complication referred to the 9 year old boy. He was in good condition after the operation and the wound also healed right.
