[Surgical complications of the diverticular disease of the colon. Series of 110 cases (author's transl)].
The authors are reviewing a series of 110 cases of operated diverticulitis. Emergency operations mainly concerned cases of fecal peritonitis. Mortality is still fairly high (27 percent). In these cases, immediate resection (two-stages operation) brings better results than the classical three-stages operation. The latter, however, remains in some cases a safe solution. Concerning chronic patients, surgical procedures always require immediate resection, whatever the anatomic lesions can be. Hartmann operation has been given up by the authors. Presently, in every cases, continuity is carried out by ideal colectomy or by anastomosis protected by a transverse colostomy. In such cases, mortality has been, 2,6 percent and functional results are most satisfactory.
