Description
Dawid Plutecki and co-authors pool data on Meckel's diverticulum in a 2026 review. This pouch in the gut is the most common birth anomaly of the digestive tract. It arises when a fetal duct fails to close in the first weeks.
The team searched eight databases up to March 2024 and kept 172 studies with usable data. The pooled prevalence was about 1.6 percent. In children, nausea and vomiting were the most common symptoms. In adults, wound problems and leaks after surgery led the outcomes list. The review maps anatomy, symptoms, and stray tissue types found in the pouch.
