Objective: To compare primary resection and anastomosis (PRA) with and without
defunctioning stoma to Hartmann's procedure (HP) as the optimal operative strategy for …

Background Previous studies have suggested that sigmoidectomy with primary anastomosis
is superior to Hartmann's procedure. The likelihood of stoma reversal after primary …

Introduction It was previously reported that in patients with acute perforated diverticulitis with
Hinchey categories I to III sigmoidectomy with primary anastomosis (PA) is superior to …

Objective Hartmann's procedure (HP) still remains the most frequently performed procedure
in acute perforated diverticulitis, but it results in a end colostomy. Primary anastomosis (PA) …

Aim This systematic review aimed to evaluate the efficacy, morbidity and mortality of
laparoscopic peritoneal lavage for patients with perforated diverticulitis. Method We …

Background Acute colonic diverticulitis is a common clinical condition. Severity of the
disease is based on clinical, laboratory, and radiological investigations and dictates the …

Aim Immunosuppression is believed to worsen outcomes for patients who require surgery
for perforated diverticulitis. The aim of this study was to compare surgical outcomes between …

Objectives Surgical options for acute diverticulitis with peritonitis include Hartmann's
procedure or resection and primary anastomosis with or without a stoma. Initial laparoscopic …

Background: Perforated diverticulitis with purulent peritonitis has traditionally been treated
with open colon resection and stoma formation with risk for reoperations, morbidity, and …

BACKGROUND: Traditionally, perforated diverticulitis has been managed with an open
approach, with a Hartmann procedure or a colectomy with primary anastomosis. Minimally …
