Abstract
Introduzione Indications for elective surgery in diverticular disease are sill debated and recent findings suggest a conservative approach since most patients present complicated diverticulitis as the first manifestation of diverticular disease. In our study we analyze the result in term of postoperative morbidity and mortality in patiets who underwent elective surgery for diverticular disease. Pazienti e metodi From September 2011 to May 2015 we perfomerd 170 surgical interventions for diverticular disease in our unit. Of these, 51 resection were performed in elective setting. Pre-, intra- and postoperative findings were collected in a prospective database. Multivariate analysis with logistic regression was performed to find out independent predictive factors for postoperative events. Statistical analysis was made with SPSS v.13.0 and significance was considered with p value < 0.05. Risultati Male:Female ratio was 1:1 with mean age of 5914 years. 44 patients was younger than 75 years. 54.9% of patients had one or more comorbidities and 12 patients (23.5%) had ASA score >2.
