A National Study of Clinical Results After Emergency Operation for Perforated Diverticulitis — LapLav

Perforated Diverticulitis Clinical Trial

Official title:
A National, Registry Based Study of Clinical Results After Emergency Operation for Perforated Diverticulitis to Compare Laparoscopic Lavage and Resection Surgery in Routine Use.

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate clinical results and effect on health and well-being in patients operated for perforated diverticulitis with purulent peritonitis by laparoscopic lavage in Sweden when used outside of prospective studies/trials and in comparison with the traditional treatment, i.e. colon resection with or without stoma formation. A secondary aim is to evaluate the outcome after fecal peritonitis. The hypothesis is that laparoscopic lavage as treatment for perforated diverticulitis with purulent peritonitis is safe, efficient and cost saving, when used in routine health care.
