2Diverticulitis Diverticulose affects 1/3 of
population gt 45 yrs 10-25 of these patients
develops acute diverticulitis 1/3 of patients
with acute diverticulitis will have a
complicated diverticulitis Classification
according to Hinchey
3Diverticulitis Complicated diverticulitis
associated with significant morbidity and
mortality Majority of published literature
mortality 6-17 in complicated
diverticulitis mortality 22-39 in free
perforation or fecal peritonitis perforation
in 50-70 first manifestation of complicated
diverticulitis
4Diverticulitis Golden rule of diverticulitis Pr
ofylactic surgery to prevent complications of
recurrent diverticulitis after 2 episodes of
clinically documented diverticulitis, (1 episode
in young patients) Sequellae of conservative
treated acute diverticulitis (fistula, stenosis,
etc.) 1. All forms complicated diverticulitis
associated with increased morbidity and
mortality 2. Diverticulitis recurrent episodes
with increased risk of complicated
diverticulitis 3. All patients are at risk for
perforated diverticulitis 4. Risk of recurrent
diverticulitis and colostomy is eliminated with
elective surgery 1/3 of patients will develop
2nd episode 1/3 of them will develop a subsequent
episode Recurrent episodes thought to be
associated with increased risk of complications
and mortallity
5Diverticulitis Perforated diverticulitis high
mortality (up to 20-25) free perforation fecal
peritonitis All other forms of diverticulitis
perocolic abscess fistula obstruction phlegmo
n bleeding low mortality equal to elective
surgery (0 - 2.6) (Profylactic
sigmoidresection low mortality rate 1 -
2.4) But gt 50-70 of patients with perforated
diverticulitis no previous history and
recurrent diverticulitis after sigmoid resection
2.6 - 10.4 Reasons to rethink the
rules????? Chapman J et al. Ann Surg
2005 Kaiser AM. Ann Surg 2006
6- Elective sigmoid resection indications
- (Am Soc Colorect Surg)
- Hinchey I and II after percutaneous drainage of
the abscess - Young patients after one well documented
episode of diverticulitis - Elderly patients after two episodes of
diverticulitis - Diverticulitis with fistula (vagina, bladder or
external) - Diverticulitis with stenosis
- Diverticular disease with lower tract bleeding
7Diverticulitis surgery open or laparoscopic
Acute surgery depending from severity of
inflammatoir mass associated complications
(fistula, abscess) skills of surgeon

19Essential choices Oncologic vs benign
(diverticulitis) Medial vs lateral
approach Vascularisation
20- Essential choices
- Oncologic benign (diverticulitis)
- medial approach lateral or medial
- ligation at origin of vessels close to bowel
- a. mes. inf. a. sigmoidea
- a. sigmoidea
- a. colica sinistra
- Ultracision, ligasure, staplers ligasure
21Mobilisation of splenic flexure Not always
necessary enough length tension free But
standard mobilisation 15-20 min extra
time experience never doubt about length /
tension Full mobilisation medial
approach Partial mobiliation lataral approach
incl. omentum!

28- Benign disease
- Close to bowel
- free lateral attachments
- Transsect proximal or distal margin
- Cut halfway between major vessels and bowel

29Distale marge Proximale marge
30Distale marge Overgang rectum -
sigmoid Teniae! Indien recidief diverticulitis,
bijna altijd onvoldoende distale
marge Proximale marge Moeilijker te bepalen Op
overgang naar soepele deel colon Niet streven
naar volledige resectie divertikels
31- Benign disease
- Close to bowel
- free lateral attachments
- Transsect proximal or distal margin
- Cut halfway between major vessels and bowel
- Lower left quadrant incision
- Transsection of the proximal segment
- Insertion of circular stapler
- Close wound and restore pneumoperitoneum
- Intracorporal anastomosis
32Take home message Laparoscopy can be safely
used in elective setting Mobilisation of splenic
flexure Medial vs lateral Adequate (distal)
resection margins
