[Ultrasound diagnosis of chronic paracolic inflammatory mass in diverticular disease].

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of ultrasound in diagnosis of chronic paracolic inflammatory mass in patients with diverticular disease.

Material And Methods: We analyzed ultrasonic findings in 216 patients with chronic inflammatory complications of colonic diverticular disease. Chronic paracolic inflammatory mass as the most common and significant chronic complication of diverticular disease was analyzed in 116 patients.

[Short-term outcomes of laparoscopic-assisted procedures for chronic complications of diverticular disease].

Aim: To estimate efficacy of laparoscopic-assisted procedures for chronic complications of diverticular disease (DD).

Material And Methods: It was made a prospective comparative study within 2007-2015. Inclusion criteria were verified chronic DD (>6 weeks after the first attack) and bowel resection followed by primary anastomosis.
