They turn out pathological, mostly because of the ectopic mucosal tissues, they harbor. Once symptomatic, they are preferably treated by segmental bowel resection with inclusion of heterotopic mucosa and end to end anastomosis.

The description includes the troublesome postoperative course , to which the patient went through.
