Emergency surgery for colonic diverticulitis is necessary for peritonitis or failed conservative treatment. Outcomes depend on patient age, condition, and peritonitis severity.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Gastroenterology
  • Colorectal Surgery

Context:

  • Colonic diverticulitis frequently necessitates emergency surgical intervention.
  • Surgical indications for colonic diverticulitis remain inconsistently defined in medical literature.
  • Authors' experience indicates surgery is performed for peritonitis following perforation or refractory conservative management.

Purpose:

  • To analyze surgical interventions for colonic diverticulitis.
  • To evaluate factors influencing postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing surgery for colonic diverticulitis.
  • To correlate surgical approaches with patient characteristics and intraoperative findings.

Summary:

  • Twenty-four patients with colonic diverticulitis underwent surgery due to diffuse (17) or localized (7) peritonitis.

  • Postoperative mortality was linked to cardiovascular complications in patients over seventy.
  • Surgical outcomes were associated with patient age, general health, and the extent of peritonitis (localized vs. generalized).
  • Surgical procedures were categorized into conservative (suturing) or primary resection/exteriorization based on intraoperative findings and lesion severity.

    • Impact:

    • Surgical treatment decisions for colonic diverticulitis should consider patient age, cardiorespiratory status, and comorbidities.
    • This study highlights the importance of individualized surgical strategies in managing complicated colonic diverticulitis.
    • Understanding these factors can help optimize surgical planning and improve patient outcomes in emergency colonic diverticulitis cases.
