Perforated diverticulitis in a Hartmann rectal pouch.

C Fowler, M Aaland, L Johnson

    Diseases of the Colon and Rectum
    |October 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    The Hartmann procedure for perforated diverticulitis can lead to complications. Resecting all diseased bowel during the initial surgery is crucial, especially for steroid-dependent patients at high risk.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • The Hartmann procedure is a standard surgical approach for perforated diverticulitis.
    • Modifications may leave residual bowel, increasing the risk of complications.

    Observation:

    • A steroid-dependent patient experienced recurrent perforated diverticulitis in the rectal pouch ten months post-Hartmann procedure.
    • This occurred in residual diseased bowel after initial sigmoid resection.

    Findings:

    • Steroid-dependent patients face elevated risks of surgical complications and disease recurrence.
    • Incomplete resection of diseased bowel can lead to late complications.

    Implications:

    • Complete resection of all diseased bowel during the initial surgery is recommended for perforated diverticulitis.
    • This is particularly important in immunocompromised or steroid-dependent patients to prevent recurrence and complications.
