Summary

Laparoscopic peritoneal lavage (LPL) has recently been emerging as an effective alternative to laparoscopic sigmoidectomy (LS) in patients with complicated acute diverticulitis (CAD) (Modified Hinchey's classification grade II non-responder to conservative therapy and grade III). Aim of the study is to evaluate which surgical strategy, between LPL and LS, could give better results in patients with CAD

Conditions

  • Acute Diverticulitis

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Laparoscopic Peritoneal Lavage

LPL is done by irrigation with at least 6 L of warm saline throughout the abdominal cavity and after that, putting a drain in Douglas cavity through the port sites
