	American Pediatric Surgical Association :: Resources : Meckel's Diverticulum
		Meckel’s diverticulum is an out pouching from the intestine caused by an abnormality during the development of the fetus and it occurs between 5 and 7 weeks after conception.
		Meckel’s diverticulum is the most common congenital anomaly (abnormality) of the gastrointestinal tract (stomach and intestines) and is present in approximately 2% of the population.
		Although complications of Meckel’s diverticulum rarely may be life-threatening, studies of large numbers of patients with this problem have been associated with a low risk of complications or death (<2%), related largely to the management of the diverticulum itself.

		Pathologically, the diverticulum is a urethral evagination consisting of mostly fibrous tissue.
		Active infection of the urinary tract or the diverticulum precludes surgical intervention until the infection is eradicated.

		Surgical treatment of urethral diverticulum is indicated for recurrent (repeated) urinary tract infections, painful sex due to the urethral diverticulum, painful urination, vaginal pain or other symptoms related to the diverticula that do not respond to more conservative measures such as antibiotics and pain medications.
		The hole that led from the urethra to the diverticulum is closed and the vaginal incision is likewise closed.
		Surgical excision of a urethral diverticulum should be performed with caution and should be done by surgeons familiar with, and experienced with, this procedure.

	(c) UrologyHealth.org - Adult Conditions - Bladder - Bladder Diverticulum
		A congenital bladder diverticulum represents an area of weakness in the bladder wall through which some of the lining of the bladder is forced out.
		If the urine within the diverticulum becomes infected, that infection may not be able to clear because of the stagnation.
		Postoperatively, catheter drainage of the bladder is indicated for one to two weeks. Bladder diverticula are either congenital (you are born with them) or acquired. Acquired diverticula are usually related to bladder obstruction, most commonly as a result of Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy. Those that become symptomatic usually are large singular diverticula.

	Zenker's Diverticulum
		The first case of Zenker's diverticulum was actually described in 1764 by the English surgeon, Ludlow, but it was not until 1877 that the German pathologist, Friedrich Albert von Zenker, described all 23 cases that had been presented in the literature until that time and then added 11 of his own.
		A traction diverticulum is formed due to external traction on the wall of the digestive tract resulting in the pouch formation, whereas the pulsion diverticulum is formed because of an imbalance of intraluminal force combined with the strength of the digestive tract wall.
		It is a pulsion diverticulum formed by an imbalance of forces, which we will discuss in a moment, and it typically occurs in an anatomic region known as the Killian's triangle.

	Zenker's Diverticulum FAQ
		Zenker’s diverticulum is a pouch that forms at the back of the throat at the junction of the pharynx and the esophagus (the food passage to the stomach).
		In many patients who have a Zenker’s diverticulum other problems of the esophagus are present, however, this is not always the case.
		The risks associated with having a Zenker’s diverticulum are weight loss and malnutrition, and pneumonia caused by food entering the lungs from the pouch.

		Named after Friedrich Albert von Zenker (1825-1898), a German pathologist, Zenker's diverticulum is a pulsion diverticulum that arises from a muscular dehiscence between the oblique fibers of the inferior constrictor muscle and the transverse fibers of the cricopharyngeus muscle.
		The main symptom is dysphagia (difficulty in swallowing). Food retained in the diverticulum may lead to spontaneous regurgitation, bad breath and choking.
