The Current Surgical Management of Complicated Left-Sided Colonic Diverticulitis: A Narrative Review
Layman Abstract :
This review looks at how doctors treat a serious condition called complicated left-sided diverticulitis, which affects the large intestine. In severe cases, surgery is needed to remove the damaged part of the bowel. Two common types of surgery are the Hartmann’s procedure and a bowel resection with a temporary opening (ileostomy) to help with healing. If the patient is very sick and unstable, a quick emergency surgery called damage control surgery may be done. Another option, called laparoscopic lavage, involves washing out infected areas and is used as a temporary step before doing a bigger surgery later. This article explores when and how these different treatments are used.
