  • Title: [Surgical treatment of divertikulitis of the sigmoid colon (author's transl)].
    Author: Pitzler K, Rupprecht H.
    Journal: Zentralbl Chir; 1977; 102(4):243-51. PubMed ID: 556321.
    Abstract:
    32 patients suffering from diverticulitis of the sigmoid colon underwent resection with end-to-end-anastomosis. In 24 cases the operation was performed electively as a one step procedure, the rest of the patients were operated on by two or three steps. One patient with ileus and peritonitis came to death. 28 from 31 surviving patients live without trouble. Resection of the inflammatory part of intestine is recommended instead of permanent colostomy.
