OBJECTIVE
Single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) has been introduced as a new technique for the treatment of various colorectal diseases. Recurrent or complicated diverticulitis of the sigmoid colon is a frequent indication for minimally invasive sigmoid colectomy. The aim of this study was to
BACKGROUND
Little research has been performed on the impact of race/ethnicity and obesity on the course of diverticulitis.
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether patients of different racial/ethnic backgrounds and patients who are obese have disparate courses of disease with regard to complications,
OBJECTIVE
To determine the clinical characteristics of acute diverticulitis in Korean patients with respect to the relationship between disease location and age, obesity, and complications.
METHODS
The medical records of patients with acute diverticulitis who were treated at Severance Hospital in
Perforated diverticulitis with purulent peritonitis (Hinchey III diverticulitis) has traditionally been treated with a Hartmann's procedure in order to avoid the considerable postoperative morbidity and mortality associated with one-stage resection and primary anastomosis. Although BACKGROUND
We examined the relationship between morbid obesity, clinical presentation, and perioperative outcomes in patients offered surgery for diverticulitis.
METHODS
We queried the ACS NSQIP dataset from 2005 to 2010 for patients undergoing surgery for nonhemorrhaging diverticulitis. Univariate
There is limited data to compare the clinical characteristics and recurrence rates between left-sided primary epiploic appendagitis (PEA) versus left-sided acute colonic diverticulitis (ACD), and right-sided PEA versus right-sided ACD, respectively.We OBJECTIVE
The aim of this prospective study was to assess the outcome of laparoscopic colectomy for sigmoid diverticulitis in normal weighted, overweighted and obese patients.
METHODS
From January 1995 to December 2000, all patients (n = 77) undergoing an elective colectomy for sigmoid
OBJECTIVE
Studies of obesity and diverticular complications are limited. We assessed the relationship between body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, and waist-to-hip ratio and diverticulitis and diverticular bleeding.
METHODS
A prospective cohort study of 47,228 male health professionals (40-75
OBJECTIVE
On the basis of our experience in recent years, we hypothesized that acute diverticulitis occurs more frequently in young adult patients (age, < or = 50 years) now than previously recognized. We reviewed the CT findings, clinical features, and demographic data of a cohort of patients who
OBJECTIVE
Left-sided diverticulitis is increasing in Japan, and many studies report that left-sided diverticulitis is more likely to be severe. Therefore, it is important to identify the features and risk factors for left-sided diverticulitis. We hypothesized that left-sided diverticulitis in Japan
Obesity is a known risk factor for diverticulitis. Our objective was to examine the less investigated impact of morbid obesity (MO) on admissions and clinical course of diverticulitis in a US representative database.We retrospectively queried the 2010-2014 OBJECTIVE
To understand why the population-based incidence of diverticulitis has increased over time, we studied temporal changes in age, body mass index (BMI), and diverticulitis in Olmsted County, Minnesota.
METHODS
We compared the BMIs of 2967 patients with diverticulitis and 9795 people without
Acute diverticulitis (AD) is a common surgical problem with increasing incidence. Obesity has become epidemic in western countries. Obesity has been shown to increase the risk of developing AD; however, little is known about its influence on the risk of recurrence. The decision to There is little evidence that adiposity associates with diverticulitis, especially among women. We conducted a comprehensive evaluation of obesity, weight change, and incidence of diverticulitis in a large cohort of women.
We conducted a prospective cohort study of 46,079 women enrolled in the
BACKGROUND
The aim of this prospective comparative study was to assess the outcome of laparoscopic colectomy for sigmoid diverticulitis in normal-weight, overweight, and obese patients.
METHODS
From January 1995 to December 2000, all patients (n = 77) undergoing an elective colectomy for sigmoid
