Indications for Elective Sigmoid Resection in Diverticular Disease

Annals of Surgery, 2010
To prevent an acute surgery, classic indications for elective sigmoid resections concerning diverticulitis have usually been based on the number of recurrent episodes. Since 2005 these indications have been challenged, primarily because the majority of patients first present themselves with acute complications at their first episode.Between 1990 and ...
