Abstract

tion of diverticulitis. In this study, we aimed to perform an analysis of patients that have cecal diverticulitis, and presented with acute abdomen.Material and Methods: Patients who were admitted to emergency clinic between 2009-2012 and had acute abdomen due to cecal diverticulitis was included into study retrospectively.Results: Six patients were included in the study with a mean age of 34 years . Four patients were male and two were female (male/female: 2). All six patients presented with abdominal pain, additional symptoms were nausea in five patients, and vomiting in one patient. The mean white blood cell count was 11.900/mm3 (5850-17.400/mm3), while the remaining laboratory results were normal. There were no specific findings on abdominal X-ray or ultrasonography. The surgical exploration revealed an inflamed cecal diverticulitis and normal appendix in all patients. Five patients underwent appendectomy and diverticulectomy. Right hemicolectomy was performed in one patient due to suspicion of malignancy. The early postoperative period was uneventful in all patients. The mean length of hospital stay was 4.5 days with a range of 2-6 days. Histopathological examination showed acute perforated diverticulitis with underlying true diverticulum in three patients, and true diverticulum with acute diverticulitis in the remaining three patients.Conclusion: Pre-operative diagnosis of cecal diverticulitis is challenging due to symptoms and signs that resemble acute appendicitis. Diverticulectomy and incidental appendectomy is the treatment of choice in uncomplicated cases.

Özet

karın kliniğine yol açabilir. Bu çalışmada akut karına sebep olan çekum divertiküliti olgularının analizini amaçladık.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Kliniğimize 2009-2012 tarihleri arasında akut karın tablosu ile başvuran ve intraoperatif rastlantısal çekum divertiküliti saptanan hastalar retrospektif olarak çalışmaya alındı.Bulgular: Ortalama yaşı 34 yıl olan toplam altı hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Dört hasta erkek, iki hasta kadın idi (erkek/kadın: 2). Hastaların tamamında hastaneye ana başvuru nedeni karın ağrısı olup, ayrıca beş hastada bulantı ve bir hastada da kusma mevcuttu. Hastaların beyaz küre değerleri ortalama 11,900/mm3(5850-17,400/mm3) olup diğer laboratuvar tetkikleri normaldi. Hastaların direk karın grafisi ve ultrasonografisinde anormallik saptanmadı. Ameliyatta normal apendiks vermiformis yanında enflame çekum divertikülü saptandı. Apandektomi ile birlikte çekum divertikül eksizyonu beş hastada uygulandı. Tümör şüphesi nedeniyle bir hastada sağ hemikolektomi yapıldı. Hastaların ameliyat sonrası erken dönem takipleri sorunsuz seyretti. Ortalama yatış süresi 4,5 gün olup, yatış günü aralığı 2-6 gün idi. Histopatolojik inceleme üç hastada gerçek divertikül zemininde gelişen akut perfore divertikülit ve diğer üç hastada akut divertikülit ile uyumlu idi.Sonuç: Çekum divertikülitinin semptom ve bulguları akut apandisite benzediği için ameliyat öncesi tanı koymak zordur. Komplike olmayan durumlarda divertikülektomi ve insidental apandektomi tercih edilen tedavi yöntemidir.
