Background: Contemporary surgical management of complicated diverticulitis is controversial. Traditionally, the gold standard has been resection and colostomy, but recently peritoneal lavage and drainage without resection in cases of purulent peritonitis have been suggested. This study aims to review our initial experience with laparoscopic peritoneal lavage for complicated diverticulitis. Methods: Retrospective review of all patients who underwent emergent peritoneal lavage and drainage for acute complicated diverticulitis. Results: Five-hundred-thirty-eight patients admitted for acute diverticulitis between 2007 and 2012 were recorded in the database. Thirty seven underwent emergent surgery of which 10 had peritoneal lavage and drainage without colonic resection for complicated diverticulitis causing peritonitis. Peritoneal lavage and drainage resulted in the resolution of acute symptoms in all cases. In long-term follow-up, 3 (30%) patients required elective resection owing to symptomatic disease, two of these due to recurrent diverticulitis, and one owing to complicated fistula following the procedure. Conclusion: Peritoneal lavage is a feasible option for complicated diverticulitis with purulent non-fecal peritonitis, but a significant portion of the patients may require elective resection. Comparative studies with emergent resection are needed to determine the role of peritoneal lavage in complicated diverticulitis.

Surgical evaluation and treatment is commonly required for the treatment of diverticulitis in both the acute and elective situations. This chapter discusses the surgical treatment of the clinically important manifestations of diverticular disease. Different options for surgical treatment are described for patients in both the urgent and elective settings, including technical aspects of these options. Current controversies are reviewed, including resection versus laparoscopic lavage for the treatment of purulent peritonitis, the use of gastrointestinal diversion in the surgical treatment of acute diverticulitis, and timing of operation for recurrent diverticulitis.  This review contains 8 figures, 4 tables, and 67 references.

Acute Colonic Diverticulitis

Severe stages of acute, colonic diverticulitis can progress into intestinal perforations with peritonitis. In such cases, urgent treatment is needed, and Hartmann’s procedure is the standard treatment for cases with fecal peritonitis. Peritoneal lavage may be an alternative to resection for acute diverticulitis with purulent peritonitis, but ongoing randomized trials are awaited to clarify this.

AbstractDiverticulitis manifestations may cover a spectrum of mild local inflammation to diffuse feculent peritonitis. Up to 35% of patients presenting with diverticulitis will have purulent (Hinchey grade III) or feculent (Hinchey grade IV) contamination of the abdomen, with a high-associated morbidity and mortality. Surgical management may involve segmental resection with or without restoration of bowel continuity. However, emergency resection for diverticulitis can be associated with high mortality rates, as well as low stoma reversal rates at 1 year. Therefore, laparoscopic peritoneal lavage has been proposed for use in selected patients with purulent peritonitis. The topic of laparoscopic peritoneal lavage for the treatment of perforated diverticulitis in the literature has been controversial. Our review of the recent data show that laparoscopic lavage may be safe and feasible in select patients with similar rates of mortality and major morbidity. There is, however, a concern regarding an associated higher rate of postoperative abscess and early reintervention risk.

Colonic Diverticular Disease

Summary. The incidence of diverticular colon disease has increased significantly. Complications are found in 40-42 % of patients, the frequency of perforation of the diverticulum is about 3.3 %. Materials and methods. The article presents the results of the treatment of 129 patients who were operated on for peritonitis complicated forms of diverticular colon disease . Research results. The study found that surgical treatment of patients with complication in the Hinchey III-IV stage is best performed by the method of laparoscopic peritoneal lavage. Discussion of research results. The laparoscopic approach has demonstrated a number of advantages: a smaller wound size, a shorter period of disability, an early recovery of enteral nutrition, and a shorter hospital stay. Conclusions. Performing laparoscopic peritoneal lavage in patients with perforated diverticulitis complicated by purulent peritonitis is an alternative to Hartmann surgery or bowel resection with primary anastomosis.
