Abstract
Introduction: The present study aims to evaluate the patients treated in our clinic for acute Diverticulitis and to review the treatment options. Methods: In this study, demographic data, treatment approaches and results of cases treated for acute diverticulitis in our clinic were examined and the records of 85 patients were retrospectively analyzed. Results: The average age was 50.49±13.22, and 51 cases were female and 34 were male. The BMI average was 29.26±5.86. There was abdominal pain in all cases and 83 presented with left lower quadrant pain, while two had right lower quadrant pain. In 55 cases, nausea and vomiting were noted, and in 39 cases, fever was present. When evaluated according to average CRP values (128.85), in patients with high CRP, the hospital's hospitalization day was significantly longer (p=0.042). Medical treatment was applied in Stage 1A and 1B, while radiological percutaneous drainage was applied to patients in stage 2 group. Surgical drainage was performed in two patients in stage 3 group, and Hartmann’s procedure was performed on three pa- tients. The case in Stage 4 was also performed on the Hartmann’s procedure. Discussion and Conclusion: In the treatment of diverticulitis, especially in the early stages, antibiotics remain the first option, while radiology-guided drainage was preferred for localized abscesses. In surgical applications, the Hartmann’s procedure still an important procedure.
