Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the occurrence of acute diverticulitis in France from 2013 to 2022, focusing on how regional factors might influence this condition.
- It includes data from all patients over 18 admitted for diverticulitis, revealing a 10-year cumulative occurrence rate of 3.45%, influenced more by age and gender than by ecological factors.
- The findings suggest that besides smoking, other regional factors like obesity and economic disparities do not significantly affect diverticulitis hospitalization rates.
Background: Acute right colic diverticulitis (ARD) is less frequent in Western countries than acute sigmoid diverticulitis (ASD). We aimed to compare the management of ARD and ASD operated on in emergency.
Methods: All consecutive patients who had emergency surgery for ASD and ARD (2010-2021) were included in a retrospective, multicenter, cohort study.
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to assess how socioeconomic deprivation affects postoperative outcomes in patients who have undergone surgery for sigmoid diverticulitis (SD).
- Conducted across 41 French hospitals from 2010 to 2021, researchers found that 20% of the 6,415 patients experienced severe complications within 90 days post-surgery.
- Results indicated that higher levels of socioeconomic deprivation are linked to an increased risk of severe complications, even after adjusting for factors like age, sex, and surgery type.
Background: Postoperative rectovaginal fistula leads to a loss of patients' quality of life and presents significant challenges to the surgeon. The literature focusing specifically on postoperative rectovaginal fistulas is limited. The objective of the present study is to identify factors that can enhance the success of the management of this postoperative rectovaginal fistula.
