Unlabelled:
The bowel diverticulitis is a complication of diverticulosis, occuring in 35% patients in 20 years after diagnosis. The study purpose was analysis of the results published in world literature.
Method:
Double blind electronic search of several databases using key words: diverticulitis, laparoscopy.
Results:
11 studies with 415 patients that satisfy the criteria were selected. AGE: 62.7 + 14.2. Hinchey stadiums: I, IIa i IIb of these 44% I and 28% IIa i Iib each. Operative time: 197.4 +/- 49.6 min. Conversions: 11.7 +/- 10.1 (0 - 38.9%). Protective stoma: 5.5%. Bowel sounds: 2.3 - 3.2 postoperative day. Oral feeding: 2.6-5 postoperative day. Hospitalization: 6.1 2.1 dana. Anastomotic dehiscence: 2.8%, wound infection: 7.3%, iatrogen rectum perforation with stapler: 3.3%, bleeding: 3.5%, ileus: 4.4%, reoperation rate: 4.7%.
Conclusion:
Sigmoid resection with or without a protective "loop" ileostomy is technically feasable by minimally invasive surgical technique, with an acceptable ratio of benefits and complications.
