Cecal diverticulitis diagnosis is challenging. Ileocolonic resection is a safe and effective treatment, recommended over local resection due to lower morbidity and shorter hospital stays for this condition.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Colorectal Surgery

Background:

  • Cecal diverticulitis presents diagnostic challenges, often mimicking appendicitis preoperatively.
  • Intraoperative findings can be mistaken for neoplastic conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of ileocolonic resection versus local resection for cecal diverticulitis.
  • To determine the optimal surgical approach for managing cecal diverticulitis.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 18 pathologically confirmed cases of cecal diverticulitis.
  • Analysis of surgical outcomes, including morbidity and hospital stay, for ileocolonic resection and local resection.

Main Results:

  • Ileocolonic resection was performed in 16 patients; local resection in three.

  • Patients undergoing local resection experienced higher morbidity and significantly longer hospital stays.
  • No mortality was observed in either treatment group.

    • Conclusions:

    • Ileocolonic resection is a safe and effective surgical procedure for cecal diverticulitis.
    • Ileocolonic resection is recommended as the preferred surgical management for cecal diverticulitis.
