Jejunal diverticulitis is a rare clinical entity often overlooked by physicians as a cause for abdominal pain. Although diagnostic capabilities improved in recent years, there is little data about diverticular disease in the proximal small bowel. The aim of this study is to present the clinical course and management in a series of eight cases of ...

Laparoscopy for Diverticulitis
Surgical Innovation, 2003Although the literature on laparoscopic surgery for diverticulitis includes data on more than 1800 patients, the quality of the studies is insufficient to draw definitive evidence-based conclusions. Nonrandomized evidence suggests that laparoscopic resection for uncomplicated diverticulitis of the sigmoid may fare better than its conventional ...

ImportanceDiverticulosis is defined by the presence of multiple outpouchings (diverticula) originating from the intestinal lumen. Diverticulitis is defined as inflammation of these diverticula. The annual incidence of diverticulitis in the US is approximately 180 per 100 000 people, resulting in approximately 200 000 hospital admissions annually and an

The case history of a 56-year-old woman with an acute abdomen is presented. Laboratory data, a plain abdominal X-ray and ultrasound examination provided no clues for a definite diagnosis. Surprisingly, a duodenal diverticulitis was found at operation. Some aspects and complications of duodenal diverticula are discussed.

ABSTRACT: The surgical records of 53 patients (average age, 64) with diverticulitis were reviewed. Complications (e.g., hemorrhage, peritonitis, abscess, fistula) had occurred in 30 cases. X‐ray examination in 46 patients showed that the sigmoid was involved in 71 per cent.
