Nonoperative Management of Acute Complicated Diverticulitis
نویسنده
چکیده
presence of recurrent attacks of acute diverticulitis was not a significant risk for emergent surgery. In fact, the first episode of complicated acute diverticulitis was the only risk factor for emergent surgery in patients managed in a conservative form [5]. If appropriate resources are available, aggressive nonoperative management of acute complicated diverticulitis is safe and effective in almost all hemodynamically-stable patients. The decision to use nonoperative management of acute complicated diverticulitis must be based on the patient’s clinical physiologic state.
