    AbstractThe literature data concerning the incidence of Meckel's diverticulum in the adult and the frequency of its complications are examined and problems associated with the preoperative diagnosis of this form are discussed. Reference is made to the limitations of abdominal scintiscanning and the encouraging results obtained with superior mesenteric arteriography in diverticular bleeding. Five cases of Meckel's diverticulum in the adult are presented. Stress is placed on the need to explore the ileum during appendicectomy to enable diverticula to be detected and removed, since they are often the cause or the site of complications, even in the adult.
