Definition von divertikül im Türkisch Englisch wörterbuch

diverticulum

a small pouch in the wall of the large intestine, which usually do not cause a problem unless it becomes irritated or infected

a herniation through the muscular wall of a tubular organ (especially the colon)

A blind tube branching out of a longer one

A small growth off an organ such as the large intestine

Latin = by-road, hence a blind tubular process or sac

{i} sac which branches off from a bodily cavity (Anatomy)

Small pouch or sac formed in the wall of a major organ, usually the esophagus, small intestine, or large intestine (the most frequent site of problems). In the large intestine, feces pushed into a pouch can make it bulge out from the colon wall, a condition known as diverticulosis, which has no symptoms. In the more serious condition called diverticulitis, those sacs become inflamed, causing pain and tenderness, chills, and sometimes fever. Mild cases need only bed rest and antibiotics. In severe cases, perforation or rupture of the colon wall at the diverticulum can cause peritonitis. Rupture may require colostomy. Meckel diverticulum, a congenital malformation of the upper intestine that causes bleeding and inflammation, may require surgical removal

small outpouching from a hollow organ (such as the large intestine)

pouch or pocket leading off from a main cavity or tube
