In less than 25% of cases patients may present with
generalized peritonitis indicating the presence of
diverticular perforation .
-Sigmoid diverticula
P6 A declared brain –dead patient whose organs are being removed for
donation purposes.
For uncomplicated diverticular disease, medical therapy
can be continued beyond two attacks without an
increased risk of perforation requiring a colostomy.
However, patients on immunosuppressive therapy, in
chronic renal therapy, in chronic renal failure, or with a
collagen-vascular disease have a fivefold greater risk of
perforation during recurrent attacks.
Surgical therapy is indicated in all low surgical risk
patients with complicated diverticular disease.
The goals of surgical management include controlling
sepsis, eliminating complications such as fistula or
obstruction, removing the diseased colonic segment, and
restoring intestinal continuity.
The goals must be obtained while minimizing morbidity
rate, length of hospitilization,and cost in addition to
maximizing the survival and quality of life.
