Figure

• 

  Fig. 1. Preoperative abdominal CT scan (coronal image) shows a tiny hepatic cyst in S5 and no abnormalities in the small bowel.

• 

  Fig. 2. 99mTC pertechnetate scintigraphy shows no areas of focal abnormal tracer accumulation within 60 minutes. ANT, anterior.

• 

  Fig. 3. Endoscopic findings. (A) An orifice of the Meckel's diverticulum (arrow) is visible in the proximal ileum. (B) Fresh blood and ulceration are evident within the diverticulum. (C) Hemostasis was successfully performed with hemoclips.

• 

  Fig. 4. Small bowel follow-through shows blind-ending diverticulum (arrows) with hemoclips.

• 

  Fig. 5. Laparoscopic operative findings. (A) About 5 cm sized diverticulum which had been marked with tattoo (arrow) is visible. (B) A feeding artery (arrow) of the diverticulum is evident.
