Diagnosis and treatment experience of cecal diverticulitis in six pediatric patients
Children with cecal diverticulitis, especially complex cecal diverticulitis, are easily misdiagnosed as acute appendicitis. Acute simple cecal diverticulitis can be treated with anti-inflammatory therapy. Laparoscopic cecal diverticulectomy combined with cecal repair is a feasible and effective method for treating acute complex cecal diverticulitis.
