Abstract
A 47-year-old man complained of mild abdominal pain and melena. Abdominal computed tomography demonstrated an ileo-ileal intussusception due to a fat density tumor of the small intestine. A small intestine series also showed a protruded lesion in the ileum located 40 cm from the ileocecal valve. A single port laparoscopic partial resection of the small intestine was performed. On histopathology, the tumor was found to be an inverted Meckel's diverticulum with ectopic pancreatic tissue. The postoperative period was uneventful, and after 4 days the patient was discharged. Adult intussusception caused by an inverted Meckel's diverticulum is rare. However, single port laparoscopic surgery is considered to be safe and offer less traumatic access ; it is efficient for treating a symptomatic adult Meckel's diverticulum.
