Surgery for diverticular disease after medical treatment failure shows anastomosis is preferred over Hartmann's operation. Anastomosis leads to fewer complications and shorter recovery, especially when peritonitis is absent.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Colorectal Surgery

Background:

  • Diverticular disease management often requires surgical intervention after conservative measures fail.
  • Surgical outcomes for complicated diverticular disease vary, necessitating comparative analysis of different procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the outcomes of surgical interventions for diverticular disease in patients refractory to medical treatment.
  • To compare the efficacy and complication rates of one-stage resection with anastomosis versus Hartmann's operation.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 59 patients with diverticular disease undergoing surgery.
  • Categorization of surgical procedures into one-stage resection with anastomosis, Hartmann's operation, and others.
  • Documentation and comparison of postoperative complications, mortality, and recovery times.

Main Results:

  • 40 out of 59 patients experienced postoperative complications.
  • One-stage resection with anastomosis was performed in 46 cases, Hartmann's operation in 8, and other procedures in 5.
  • Six patient deaths occurred; 3 post-Hartmann's, 2 post-colostomy, 1 post-anastomosis. Mean bed stay was 24 days for complicated anastomosis cases and 36 for Hartmann's.

Conclusions:

  • One-stage resection with anastomosis is the preferred surgical approach for diverticular disease, even with stenosis, fistula, or abscess, if peritonitis is absent.
  • Anastomosis should be performed away from abdominal sepsis sites.
  • Hartmann's operation remains the choice for cases involving peritonitis.
