“…1,16 Since the prevalence of peptic ulcer has declined substantially, perforations have become less common. [20][21][22] For other conditions, such as acute cholecystitis, acute pancreatitis or diverticular disease, 14,29,30 the choices are less clear-cut. Conservative measures are usually used before surgery is considered, unless evidence of perforation or blockage exists.…”

HTA NHS R&D HTA ProgrammeT he research findings from the NHS R&D Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Programme directly influence key decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC) who rely on HTA outputs to help raise standards of care. HTA findings also help to improve the quality of the service in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service' that is being developed to improve the evidence of clinical practice throughout the NHS.The HTA Programme was set up in 1993. Its role is to ensure that high-quality research information on the costs, effectiveness and broader impact of health technologies is produced in the most efficient way for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined to include all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care, rather than settings of care.The HTA Programme commissions research only on topics where it has identified key gaps in the evidence needed by the NHS. Suggestions for topics are actively sought from people working in the NHS,...

“…1,2 The spectrum of clinical features extends from asymptomatic diverticulosis and recurrent courses to symptomatic disease with potentially fatal complications. 3 Within the last 14 years, 4 elective laparoscopy-assisted sigmoid resection has developed into a standard procedure for treating symptomatic diverticular disease. 5 The literature is particularly controversial in discussing the time of surgery after an acute attack of diverticulitis.…”

In the majority of patients, laparoscopic sigmoid resection in sigmoid diverticulitis can be performed without conversion. Patients who underwent surgery in the inflammation-free interval had a lower complication rate than those submitted to early elective resection. In our patient population, we were able to show that surgery in the inflammation-free interval significantly reduces postoperative morbidity. It is thus preferable for patients with sigmoid diverticulitis to receive initial antibiotic treatment and then undergo late elective laparoscopic sigmoid resection.

“…As mentioned earlier, clinical diagnosis of diverticulitis can lead to misdiagnosis and produce significant sampling bias. In addition, symptomatic uncomplicated diverticulosis or asymptomatic diverticulosis can present with IBS-like symptoms [25][26][27][28][29][30]. However, we found active inflammation in the diverticular sac and confirmed acute diverticulitis by CT scan.…”
