  • Title: [Treatment of complicated diverticulosis of the sigmoid colon (author's transl)].
    Author: Teutsch W.
    Journal: Zentralbl Chir; 1980; 105(20):1368-72. PubMed ID: 7210978.
    Abstract:
    55 patients suffering from diverticulosis of the sigmoid colon underwent surgery, 32 of them in a state of emergency (peritonitis, ileus); mortality rate 22%. In 28 patients a colostomy was performed, which later on could be removed to restore the continuity of the colon. The therapy of choice in the early stage of diverticulosis is resection of the sigmoid colon performed as a ono-stage procedure (mortality rate les than 1%).
