When seen in the adult population, management is controversial. This study sought to determine demographic and outcome differences between diverticulectomy and small bowel resection in adults diagnosed with Meckel\u2019s diverticulum.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>An analysis of the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement database (2015-2018) was performed, capturing patients with a postoperative diagnosis of Meckel\u2019s diverticulum. Inclusion criteria included diverticulectomy or small bowel resection, and exclusion criteria included other major procedures such as colectomy or concomitant diverticulectomy and a small bowel resection. Demographics and outcomes were analyzed between those receiving diverticulectomy or resection.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>506 patients undergoing surgical treatment of Meckel\u2019s diverticulum were captured. The majority of these patients were white (79.05%), male (68.77%), and averaged 46\u00a0years old. The 2 populations were homogenous, with no significant differences in demographics or comorbidities between populations. Mean operative time was shorter in the diverticulectomy group than the resection group (68.92 \u00b1 35.89 vs. 89.33 \u00b1 40.16\u00a0minutes, P &lt; .0001). There were no deaths at 30\u00a0days. Length of stay, readmission rate, wound infection, and discharge destination were similar among both groups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our analysis of a national database reveals no difference in outcomes between patients receiving a diverticulectomy or resection for Meckel\u2019s diverticulum. Operating time may be slightly increased for resection. However, decision to excise the diverticulum vs. the segment of small bowel should be individualized to each patient, their pathology, and clinical picture.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/0003134820954820","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,10]],"date-time":"2020-12-10T12:39:23Z","timestamp":1607603963000},"page":"892-896","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Meckel\u2019s Diverticulum: A National Surgical Quality Improvement Program Survey in Adults Comparing Diverticulectomy and Small Bowel Resection"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"87","author":[{"given":"Joseph G.","family":"Brungardt","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, The University of Kansas, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Brian R.","family":"Cummiskey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, The University of Kansas, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kurt P.","family":"Schropp","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, The University of Kansas, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0003134820954820","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.suc.2012.03.011"},{"key":"bibr2-0003134820954820","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/MD.0000000000012154"},{"key":"bibr3-0003134820954820","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/SLA.0b013e31815aaaf8"},{"key":"bibr4-0003134820954820","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/bjs.1800670316"},{"key":"bibr5-0003134820954820","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0002-9610(76)90043-x"},{"issue":"5","key":"bibr6-0003134820954820","first-page":"353","volume":"49","author":"Dumper J","year":"2006","journal-title":"Can J Surg"},{"key":"bibr7-0003134820954820","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.sla.0000154270.14308.5f"},{"key":"bibr8-0003134820954820","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00383-007-2094-4"},{"key":"bibr9-0003134820954820","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s003830100663"},{"key":"bibr10-0003134820954820","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fsurg.2018.00055"},{"key":"bibr11-0003134820954820","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpedsurg.2017.03.047"},{"key":"bibr12-0003134820954820","volume-title":"Participant Use Data File","year":"2018"},{"key":"bibr13-0003134820954820","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00383-018-4239-z"},{"key":"bibr14-0003134820954820","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.21037\/atm.2016.10.49"},{"key":"bibr15-0003134820954820","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.sla.0000261457.12706.5c"}],"container-title":["The American Surgeon\u2122"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0003134820954820","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/0003134820954820","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0003134820954820","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,28]],"date-time":"2026-04-28T12:34:26Z","timestamp":1777379666000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/0003134820954820"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,7]]},"references-count":15,"journal-issue":{"issue":"6","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2021,6]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/0003134820954820"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/0003134820954820","relation":{},"ISSN":["0003-1348","1555-9823"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0003-1348","type":"print"},{"value":"1555-9823","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,7]]}}}
