Surgical management of colonic diverticular disease in 422 patients over two decades showed radical resection-anastomosis procedures, with or without colostomy, yielded the best outcomes. These methods effectively removed septic foci, leading to lower complication and mortality rates.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Gastroenterology
  • Colorectal Surgery

Context:

  • Diverticular disease of the colon affects a significant patient population, often requiring surgical intervention for complications.
  • Over a 20-year period, 422 symptomatic patients with varying degrees of diverticular disease were observed.
  • Surgical intervention was necessary for 51 patients due to stenosis, occlusion, fistulas, or perforation.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the surgical outcomes for patients with complicated colonic diverticular disease.
  • To compare the efficacy of different surgical procedures in managing diverticular disease complications.
  • To identify surgical techniques associated with the lowest morbidity and mortality rates.

Summary:

  • A total of 51 patients underwent various surgical procedures, including one-stage resection and anastomosis, procedures with colostomy, Hartmann's, and Mikulicz's operations.

  • Complication rates were 17.6%, with higher rates observed after emergency surgeries.
  • Postoperative mortality was 5.8%, with a higher incidence following emergency procedures.

    • Impact:

    • Radical procedures, particularly resection-anastomosis with or without colostomy, demonstrated superior results.
    • These radical approaches facilitated the removal of septic foci from the peritoneal cavity.
    • Optimal surgical management led to improved patient recovery and reduced overall morbidity and mortality.
