ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The objective of this article is to review the evolving role of laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of complicated diverticulitis.PURPOSE:
The authors attempted to give readers a concise insight into the evidence available in the English language literature. This study does not offer a systematic review of the topic, rather it highlights the role of laparoscopy in the treatment of complicated diverticulitis.CONCLUSIONS:
New level 1 evidence suggest that observation rather than elective resection following nonoperative management of diverticulitis with abscess and/or extraluminal air is not below the standard of care. Implementation of nonoperative management may result in increased prevalence of sigmoid strictures.Palavras-chave
