title: [Standardization in sigmoid diverticulitis surgery planning: indications based on evaluation with the Hughes classification].
abstract: Sigmoid diverticulitis accounts for the most frequent colonic disease in Western countries. We studied 145 patients with diverticulitis (elective resection in 105, emergency resection in 40 patients) using the HUGHES classifications-based indication of the resection procedure (Stage I, acute diverticulitis/colonic wall phlegmonia, continent resection; Stage II, perforated diverticulitis with local perotinitis, continent resection, Hartmann's procedure exceptionally; Stage III/IV, Hartmann's procedure, continent resection exceptionally). Stage-specific morbidity was I: 18%, II: 22%, III/IV: 60%; emergency case mortality was 15%; elective case mortality was 0%. Severe local failure was significantly higher in stage II/IV than stage II/I class diverticulitis. Early elective resection is recommended with regard to morbidity, mortality, and hospitalisation time and related costs.
