Laparoscopic resection for diverticular disease

Abstract: Laparoscopic resection in patients with chronic diverticulitis is safe, with faster recovery and shorter hospital stay compared with conventional open surgery. Higher cost of operating room usage time makes the laparoscopic technique difficult to justify economically. Simplification of operating room use and better case selection may improve cost-effectiveness of the laparoscopic approach.

“…Laparoscopic resection was demonstrated to be feasible and safe in recurrent uncomplicated disease. 1,23,[41][42][43][44] A randomized controlled trial comparing laparoscopic versus open surgery for symptomatic sigmoid diverticulitis found reduced major complication rates, shorter hospital stay, and improved quality of life in the laparoscopic group. There was an overall 27% reduction in postoperative morbidity, and long-term outcomes were comparable.…”

“…Por outro lado, a experiência acumulada com o uso do acesso vídeo-laparoscópico no tratamento cirúrgico eletivo da doença diverticular constitui a melhor indicação para o uso desta via de acesso dentre as afecções coloproctológicas, segundo a opinião de diversos autores (7,8) . Não há dúvidas quanto à exeqüibilidade da ressecção de segmentos colônicos nesta afecção, aferida pela velocidade com que vem sendo reproduzida em diversos centros com experiência em cirurgia coloproctológica e vídeo-laparoscópica.…”
