Laparoscopic Colectomy vs. Open Colectomy For Sigmoid Diverticular Disease

Abstract: We recommend laparoscopic sigmoid colectomy as the modality of treatment for diverticular disease. Laparoscopic sigmoid colectomy seems to be a reliable, safe and efficacious treatment modality with better outcomes for diverticular disease of the sigmoid colon. The operative time for laparoscopic sigmoid colectomy is decreasing as surgeons gain more experience.

“…Furthermore, laparoscopic surgery has not been shown to increase early or late complications 88,89 and the costs and outcomes are comparable to open resection. 90 Laparoscopic surgery is acceptable in the elderly 91 and seems to be generally safe in selected patients with complicated disease. 92 However, laparoscopic surgery is still major surgery, which should be reserved for patients who suffer repeat attacks or who remain unwell despite medical treatment.…”

“…Compared with open surgery, laparoscopic surgery offers many benefits, such as smaller surgical wounds, good esthetic results, less pain, decreased use of analgesics, early recovery of intestinal peristalsis, and a shorter hospital stay [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] . In terms of inflammatory cytokine levels, however, the minimal invasiveness of laparoscopic surgery remains controversial.…”
