Valg af behandling af akut, purulent divertikulitis er uafklaret
Sammanfattning
Inflammation in colonic diverticula can develop into acute diverticulitis. Treatment varies depending on illness severity. Perforated diverticulitis with faecal
peritonitis is treated surgically and Hartmann’s procedure is the preferred operation. Peritoneal lavage might be an alternative to resection for purulent
peritonitis. However, ongoing randomized trials are awaited to clarify this.
