Laparoscopic Peritoneal Lavage vs Laparoscopic Sigmoidectomy in Perforated Acute Diverticulitis: a Multicenter Prospective Observational Study
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Laparoscopic Peritoneal Lavage for Acute Diverticulitis. Completed, enrolled 66 participants across 1 site.
Detailed 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

Timeline
Interventions
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
