A 21-year-old African-American male presented to the emergency room with a sudden diffuse onset abdominal pain of one day duration. CT findings revealed mild telescoping of loops of small bowel and mesenteric fat in the left mid abdomen with no apparent masses. The patient underwent an exploratory laparoscopy revealing intussusception of the mid jejunum. As a fair amount of distention compromised safe navigation of the bowel, laparoscopic resection was not warranted at this time. Open approach allowed for segmental resection of the affected segment of the small bowel. This was followed by primary anastomosis. Pathological findings revealed focal reactive lymphoid hyperplasia with marked congestion in the lamina propria of the jejunum. The patient had an unremarkable postoperative period and recovered with no further complications.

ABSTRACT Background: The Hartmann procedure remains the treatment of choice for most surgeons for the urgent surgical treatment of perforated diverticulitis; however, it is associated with high rates of ostomy non-reversion and postoperative morbidity. Aim: To study the results after the Hartmann vs. resection with primary anastomosis, with or without ileostomy, for the treatment of perforated diverticulitis with purulent or fecal peritonitis (Hinchey grade III or IV), and to compare the advantages between the two forms of treatment. Method: Systematic search in the literature of observational and randomized articles comparing resection with primary anastomosis vs. Hartmann’s procedure in the emergency treatment of perforated diverticulitis. Analyze as primary outcomes the mortality after the emergency operation and the general morbidity after it. As secondary outcomes, severe morbidity after emergency surgery, rates of non-reversion of the ostomy, general and severe morbidity after reversion. Results: There were no significant differences between surgical procedures for mortality, general morbidity and severe morbidity. However, the differences were statistically significant, favoring primary anastomosis in comparison with the Hartmann procedure in the outcome rates of stoma non-reversion, general morbidity and severe morbidity after reversion. Conclusion: Primary anastomosis is a good alternative to the Hartmann procedure, with no increase in mortality and morbidity, and with better results in the operation for intestinal transit reconstruction.

Diverticular disease produces a wide range of clinical presentations varying from minimal clinical discomfort to life-threatening complications. Often there is a considerable discrepancy between clinical, radiologic, endoscopic and pathologic findings. Diverticulosis is a quite common disease affecting about 2/3 of people in the Western world over the age 80. The exact incidence of acute diverticulitis is unclear. We distinguish between uncomplicated and complicated diverticular disease forms. The latter includes abscess formation, stricture, obstruction, and free perforation causing life-threatening peritonitis. Several classifications for perforated diverticulitis have been proposed. From the practical point of view the Hansen-Stock classification seems to be the most appropriate one as it includes all forms of diverticular disease; it can also be used preoperatively. Prophylactic resection to avoid complications is not justified in minimally symptomatic individuals. Timing of the operation depends on the clinical course and the grade of peritonitis and on concomitant treatment modalities. Emergency operations should be avoided if possible, to reduce morbidity and mortality. Elective operations should be performed best 6-8 weeks after a second diverticulitis attack. Resection plus primary anastomosis is preferred to a Hartmann?s procedure, if possible. Elective surgery should be done laparoscopically. In acute diverticulitis the goal is to treat uncomplicated forms conservatively, while complicated forms should undergo elective, laparoscopic colon resection.

Abstract Purpose The management of perforated diverticulitis with generalized peritonitis is still controversial and no preferred standardized therapeutic approach has been determined. We compared surgical outcomes between Hartmann’s procedure (HP) and primary anastomosis (PA) in patients with Hinchey III and IV perforated diverticulitis. Methods Multicenter retrospective analysis of 131 consecutive patients with Hinchey III and IV diverticulitis operated either with HP or PA from 2015 to 2018. Postoperative morbidity was compared after adjustment for known risk factors in a multivariate logistic regression. Results Sixty-six patients underwent HP, while PA was carried out in 65 patients, 35.8% of those were defunctioned. HP was more performed in older patients (74.6 vs. 61.2 years, p < .001), with Hinchey IV diverticulitis (37% vs. 7%, p < .001) and in patients with worse prognostic scores (P-POSSUM Physiology Score, p < .001, Charlson Comorbidity Index p < .001). Major morbidity and mortality were higher in HP compared to PA (30.3% vs. 9.2%, p = .002 and 10.6% vs. 0%, p = .007, respectively) with lower stoma reversal rate (43.9% vs. 86.9%, p < .001). In a multivariate logistic regression, PA was independently associated with lower postoperative morbidity and mortality (OR 0.24, 95% CI 0.06–0.96, p = .044). Conclusions In comparison to PA, HP is associated with a higher morbidity, higher mortality, and a lower stoma reversal rate. Although a higher prevalence of risk factors in HP patients may explain these outcomes, a significant increase in morbidity and mortality persisted in a multivariate logistic regression analysis that was stratified for the identified risk factors.
