Long-Term Results After Laparoscopic Lavage for Perforated Diverticulitis Purulent Peritonitis in Sweden: A Population-Based Observational Study.

Objective: To compare long-term outcomes after laparoscopic lavage with resection surgery for perforated diverticulitis, Hinchey grade III as practiced in Sweden for 3 years.

Background: Laparoscopic lavage has been studied in 3 randomized controlled trials. Long-term results indicate that additional surgery and a remaining stoma are less common after lavage compared with resection, but data from routine care and larger cohorts are needed to get a more complete picture.

Long-term results of a short-term home-based pre- and postoperative exercise intervention on physical recovery after colorectal cancer surgery (PHYSSURG-C): a randomized clinical trial.

Aim: The aim of this work was to assess the effect of a short-term, home-based exercise intervention before and after colorectal cancer surgery on 12-month physical recovery within a previously reported randomized control trial (RCT).

Method: PHYSSURG-C is an RCT in six participating hospitals in Sweden. Patients aged ≥20 years planned for elective colorectal cancer surgery were eligible.

Functional Outcomes of Emergency Surgery for Perforated Diverticulitis, Hinchey Grade III.

Background: Laparoscopic lavage as a treatment for perforated diverticulitis, Hinchey III, has been found safe and feasible in randomized trials. A few studies have reported functional outcomes and quality of life as secondary outcomes. This study investigated distress associated with dysfunction of the bowel or stoma, functional outcomes, and quality of life 2-3 years after surgery in a national unselected cohort.

A Value Sensitive Scenario Planning Method for Adaptation to Uncertain Future Sea Level Rise.

Value sensitive design (VSD) aims at creating better technology based on social and ethical values. However, VSD has not been applied to long-term and uncertain future developments, such as societal planning for climate change. This paper describes a new method that combines elements from VSD with scenario planning.

Laparoscopic lavage for perforated diverticulitis in the LapLav study: population-based registry study.

Background: The standard treatment for Hinchey III perforated diverticulitis with peritonitis was resection with or without a stoma, but recent trials have shown that laparoscopic lavage is a reasonable alternative. This registry-based Swedish study investigated results at a national level to assess safety in real-world scenarios.

Methods: Patients in Sweden who underwent emergency surgery for perforated diverticulitis between 2016 and 2018 were studied.
