Introduction The surgical management of perforated sigmoid diverticulitis and generalised
peritonitis is challenging. Surgical resection is the established standard of care. However …

Purpose The optimal surgical approach for perforated diverticulitis with purulent or fecal
peritonitis (Hinchey grade III or IV) remains debated. In recent years, accumulating evidence …

Background Surgical strategies for acute perforated diverticulitis with generalised peritonitis
remain controversial. This study aimed to meta-analyse trials comparing primary resection …

Background The aim of the present study is to present the three years follow-up a
randomised controlled trial that compared Hartmann's Procedure (HP) with sigmoidectomy …

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

Background The role of proximal diversion in patients undergoing sigmoid resection and
primary anastomosis for diverticulitis with generalized peritonitis is unclear. The aim of this …

BACKGROUND: The traditional approach for perforated diverticulitis, the Hartmann
procedure, has considerable morbidity and the challenge of stoma reversal. Alternative …

Purpose Surgical strategies for perforated diverticulitis (Hinchey stages III and IV) remain
controversial. This systematic review aimed to compare the outcome of primary …

Background No consensus has been reached in the management of perforated diverticulitis.
Many surgeons opt for a Hartmann's procedure to avoid the risk of an anastomotic leak. We …

Aim It is still controversial whether the optimal operation for perforated diverticulitis with
peritonitis is primary anastomosis (PRA) or nonrestorative resection (NRR). The aim of this …
