Laparoscopic treatment of a complication of diverticular colonic disease (Hinchey III).
Keywords:
diverticula, diverticular disease, laparoscopic surgeryAbstract
Colonic diverticular disease is a condition that can determine serious evolutive infectious complications, which in many cases require surgical treatment.A clinical case of a patient with a colonic diverticular disease, presenting as a complication an acute diffuse peritonitis (Hinchey 3) is shown.
Treatment was performed by laparoscopic surgery, cleaning the peritoneal cavity and placing a peritoneal drainage.
The evolution was favorable.
The main advantage of carrying out this conservative treatment is to have lower morbidity at the parietal level and to avoid carrying out
a detransittional colostomy or an emergency colonic resection surgery.
