WHY DISCUSS DIV.ITIS ? hospital admissions 2006-2009 (NL). In the USA from 1998 to 2005 a 26 % increase in div-itis (mostly in18-44 year old group). A diverticulum is an pouching out of the mucosa of the gut through the muscularis externa the diverticula are in fact pseudo-diverticula.

In the USA from 1998 to 2005 a 26 % increase in div-itis (mostly in18-44 year old group).
A diverticulum is an pouching out of the mucosa of the gut through the muscularis externa • the diverticula are in fact pseudo-diverticula. • Meckels diverticulum is a true diverticulum
prevalence diverticula 40 year 5 % 60 year 30% 85 year 65 %
Causes of diverticula • low fibre diet • to little mobility • to little fluid in diet • smoking • obesitas (BMI> 22.5 !)
inflammation of a diverticulum • local changes of wall; hypertrofy (?) • local neurological changes ( lower motility+higher pressure) (?) • impaction of faeces in diverticulum -->necrosis of wall --> translocation of bacteria--> inflammation
investigation • history (comorbidity, immune depressed, medication) ( no vomiting !) • physical examination (temperature > 38.5C pain,tenderness, peritonitis?) • total blood( leucocytosis) and CRP >50 mg/L • this together gives an accurate diagnosis in 40 - 65 %
In 75 % of the patients there is no diagnosis possible without imaging.
more investigation ? • ultrasound ? • CT scan ? • endoscopy ?? • MRI??
sensitivity and specificity of US is 90 % if US is inconclusive then CT
sens. and specificity of CT is 95 and 99% resp advantage of CT over US is that other diagnosis can be made when there is no diverticulitis
MRI ? expensive and time consuming sens. and spec. 85 and 100 % resp. no X rays
How to treat uncomplicated diverticulitis? treat the pain mild laxans (antibiotics only when infiltrates outside colon) no hospitalization no bedrest no diet measures necessary
uncomplicated means 0 and Ia in Hinchey score so: no suspicion of an abces, peritonitis, perforation or bleeding
chances for recidive after first episode 10 % chance in the first year and every year 3 % (> 50 year) total chance for recidive aprox 25 %
complicated diverticulitis Hinchey 1b, 11, 111,1V 5- 10 % of patients < 40 year 50- 80 % of complicated div-itis at first presentation
start very quickly with IV antibiotics drainage of abces > 5 cm ( CT or US guided with needle or drain) Hinchey 111 and 1V always operation bleeding :ENDOSCOPY with intervention or embolisation (CT-angio) when profuse or when failure with scope + units of blood of course when necessary
operation Hinchey 111 and 1V • deviating stoma • Hartmann procedure • resection with primary anastomosis • laparoscopic lavage with drainage of abdominal cavity
for today the end thank for your attention
