Meckel’s diverticulum is the most common congenital anomaly of the digestive tract, to which the „rule of two’s“ is attached. It is caused by the incompletion of obliteration of the omphalomesenteric duct which connects the primitive intestine and the yolk sac. There is a wide range of anomalies developed by the incompletion of obliteration of the omphalomesenteric duct, and Meckel’s diverticulum is the most common one. In principle, it is an asymptomatic malformation that is present in 2 % of the population, with a lifelong risk of developing complications between 4,2 and 9 %. Usually complications occur during the childhood, in average, around the age of five. Intestinal obstruction, painless bleeding of the lower gastrointestinal tract and diverticulitis with possible perforation are the most common causes of Meckel’s diverticulum symptoms development. Preoperative diagnostics have a low ability to detect Meckel’s diverticulum, which is why symptomatic patients often undergo laparoscopy as a diagnostic but also therapeutic method. If an asymptomatic Meckel’s diverticulum is found by the imaging diagnostic method, it is not recommended to remove it. Rather, an individualized approach is carried out in case of visualization of the unchanged Meckel’s diverticulum during surgery, in accordance with the risk factors present. Surgical resection, by the process of diverticulectomy, wedge excision or segmental bowel resection, is indicated if complications of Meckel’s diverticulum develop.
