Abstract:
The authors, after having examined the cases of complicated diverticulitis operated between 1985 and 1993, confirm that the surgical treatment for this particular pathology is strictly dependent on the local or general seriousness. In the light of this they consider an operation for resection and anastomosis 1st stage justifiable only in selected cases; colostomy and drainage in particularly serious cases, preferring Hartmann's method of operation for the 3rd and 4th stages of Chappuis and Chon. The results obtained agree in a satisfactory manner with the data in the literature.
