The Damage Control Strategy (DCS) for perforated diverticulitis with generalized peritonitis resulted in a 50% stoma rate at hospital discharge. DCS offers a low stoma rate for this severe condition.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Procedures
  • Colorectal Surgery

Background:

  • Perforated diverticulitis of the sigmoid colon with generalized peritonitis (Hinchey III-IV) requires optimal surgical management.
  • The efficacy of a Damage Control Strategy (DCS) for this condition is not well-defined.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of a Damage Control Strategy (DCS) in managing perforated sigmoid colon diverticulitis with generalized peritonitis.
  • To assess the outcomes, including stoma rates and mortality, associated with DCS.

Main Methods:

  • A multicenter retrospective cohort study included 58 patients with perforated diverticulitis (Hinchey III-IV) treated with DCS.
  • DCS involved a two-stage approach: limited resection with blind closure, followed by reconstruction 24-48 hours later.

  • Reconstruction options included anastomosis with or without ileostomy, or Hartmann's procedure.

    • Main Results:

    • Of 58 patients, 50% had a stoma at hospital discharge; 83% of survivors were stoma-free at follow-up.
    • Postoperative mortality was 9% (5 patients), and median hospital stay was 18.5 days.
    • Anastomosis was achieved in 83% of patients during the second procedure.

    Conclusions:

    • The Damage Control Strategy (DCS) is associated with a comparatively low stoma rate in patients with perforated diverticulitis and generalized peritonitis.
    • DCS provides a viable surgical option for managing complex cases of perforated diverticulitis, balancing immediate management with staged reconstruction.
