The purpose of the study is to analyze patient outcomes following CT guided drainage of colonic diverticular abscesses and identify the factors associated with development of fistulous communication to the drain. All patients undergoing CT guided abscess drainage, from 2009 to 2017, were included in this single institutional study. Clinical and dem...

Diverticulitis is a common cause of an acute surgical abdomen and computed tomography has become an essential part of work up particularly to identify complications that commonly include intraperitoneal perforation, abscess and fistula formation. We report the case of an 81-year-old male who presented to the emergency department with acute lower ab...

Laparoscopic sigmoidectomy is the preferred approach in the elective surgical management of diverticulitis. However, it is unclear if the benefits of laparoscopy persist when operative times are prolonged. We aimed to investigate if the recovery benefits associated with laparoscopy are retained when operative times are long. A retrospective review ...

• Jejunoileal diverticulitis is uncommon in clinical practice and poorly understood. • Multiple diverticula were recognized over the entire jejunoileum in our case. • Treatment for jejunoileal diverticulitis should be individualized for each patient. • The section involving only the inflamed diverticulosis should be resected to avoid a short-bowel....

Purpose During the COVID-19 pandemic, emergency department (ED) volumes have fluctuated. We hypothesized that natural language processing (NLP) models could quantify changes in detection of acute abdominal pathology (acute appendicitis (AA), acute diverticulitis (AD), or bowel obstruction (BO)) on CT reports. Methods This retrospective study includ...

The jejunal diverticula are relatively rare. A female patient was admitted at our emergency department with acute abdominal pain and vomiting. CT-scan of the abdomen showed multiple diverticula in the colon and multiple intra-abdominal fluid collections, also in the left quadrants of the abdomen. Free intraperitoneal extraluminal air was also obser...

Background Following an episode of acute diverticulitis, surgical guidelines commonly advise routine colonic follow-up to rule out underlying malignancy. However, as a CT of the abdomen is frequently performed during clinical work-up, the routine need for colonic follow-up has become debated. Purpose To evaluate the need for routine CT colonography...

Diverticular disease and diverticulitis are the most common non-cancerous pathology of the colon. It has traditionally been considered a disease of the elderly and associated with cultural and dietary habits. There has been a growing evolution in our understanding and the treatment guidelines for this disease. To provide an updated review of the ep...
