16. Protrusion occurs at the point where the NUTRIENT ARTERY or VASA RECTI penetrates through the muscularis propriaBreak in the integrity of the colonic wallCompression or erosionPERFORATION BLEEDINGPATHOPHYSIOLOGY
17. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY commonly affect the SIGMOID COLON due to:Relative high pressure zone within the muscular sigmoid colin.Higher amplitude contractions combined with constipated, high fat content stool within the sigmoid lumen results in the creation of these diverticula Related to retention of particulate material within the diverticular sac and formation of fecalith
18. Presentation, Evaluation, and Management
19. Diverticular BleedingHemorrhage from a colonic diverticulum is the most common cause of hematochezia in patients >60 years.Only 20% of patients with diverticulosis will have GI bleeding.Most bleeds are self-limited and stop spontaneously with bowel rest.Lifetime risk of rebleeding: 25%
20. Diverticular BleedingColonoscopy To localize the bleedingMay be both diagnostic and therapeutic in the management of mild to moderate diverticular bleedingAngiographyManagement of massive bleeding in a stable patientMesenteric angiography can localize the bleeding site and occlude the bleeding vessel successfully with a coil in 80% of the casesFollow up: Repetitive colonoscopy to look for evidence of colonic ischemiaSegmental resection of the colonTo eliminate risk of further bleedingIn patients on chronic blood thinners
21. Diverticular BleedingHighly selective coil embolizationSelective infusion of vasopressinTo stop hemorrhageComplications: MI, intestinal ischemiaRecurrence of bleeding in 50% of patients.
22. Diverticular BleedingSurgeryIndications: if patient is unstable or has had a 6-unit bleed within 24 hTotal abdominal colectomyPatients with presumed bleeding from diverticular disease requiring emergent surgery without localizationSurgical resection with primary anastomosisIn patients without severe comorbidities
23. Presentation, Evaluation, and Management
24. DIVERTICULITISUncomplicated – 75%Abdominal PainFeverLeukocytosisAnorexia/obstipationComplicated – 25%Abscess 16%Perforation 10%Stricture 5%Fistula 2%
25. DiverticulitisDiverticular perforationGeneralized peritonitis in <25% of cases(+) Abdominal distentionGiant diverticulum of the sigmoid(+) Air fluid level in the LLQ on plain abdominal film Mx: resection to avoid impending perforation
26. DiverticulitisDiagnosis is best made on CT.
27. DiverticulitisSuspected diverticulitis that does not meet CT criteria or is not associated with a leukocytosis or fever is not diverticular diseaseConditions that mimic diverticular disease:IBSOvarian cystEndometriosisAcute appendicitisPID
28. DiverticulitisBarium enema or colonoscopyShould be performed ~6 weeks after an attack of diverticular diseaseA sigmoid malignancy can masquerade as diverticular disease.Should not be performed in the acute settingHigher risk of colonic perforation associated with insufflation or insertion of barium-based contrast material under pressure.
29. DiverticulitisComplicated diverticular diseaseDiverticular disease associated with an abscess or perforation, and less commonly with a fistula.With fistula formationCommon locations include cutaneous, vaginal or vesicle fistulaePresent with either passage of stool through skin or vagina, or pneumaturiaColovaginal fistulae: more common in women who have undergone hysterectomy
30. Treatment of DiverticulitisComplicated diverticulitis = perforation,obstruction,abscess,fistula formation.□ Uncomplicated diverticulitis = Absence of the above complications
31. Treatment of Uncomplicated diverticulitisBowel rest or restrictionClear liquids or NPO for 2-3 daysThen advance dietBulk purgativesAntibioticsLifestyle modification : weight control, high fiber diet
32. Treatment Uncomplicated diverticulitis contd..Monitoring clinical coursePain should gradually improve several days (decrescendo)Normalization of temperatureTolerance of po intakeIF symptoms deteriorate or fail to improve with 3 days, then Surgery.After resolution of attack high fiber diet with supplemental fiber is advised
33. Treatment Uncomplicated diverticulitis contd..Follow-up: Colonoscopy in 4-6 weeksFlexible sigmoidoscopy.PurposeExclude neoplasmEvaluate extent of the diverticulosis
34. Prognosis after resolution of uncomplicated diverticulitis□ 30-40% of patients will remain asymptomatic 30-40% of pts will have episodic abdominal cramps without frank diverticulitis20-30% of pts will have a second attack After a second attack elective surgery
35. Prognosis after second attackSecond attackRisk of recurrent attacks is high (>50%)Some studies suggest a higher rate (60%) of complications (abscess, fistulas, etc) in a second attack and a higher mortality rate (2x compared to initial attack)Some argue elective surgery should be considered after a first attack inYoung patients under 40-50 years of age Immunosuppresed
36. Treatment of complicated diverticulitis
37. Treatment Complicated Diverticulitis: AbscessHINCHEY CLASSIFICATIONStage I Diverticulitis with associated pericolic abscessStage II Diverticulitis associated with distant abscess (retroperitoneal or pelvic)Stage III Diverticulitis associated with purulent peritonitisStage IV Diverticulitis associated with fecal peritonitis
38. STAGE i and STAGE ii is suitably managed with drainage and antibioticsSTAGE iii and STAGE iv usually requiring surgery
39. Treatment Complicated Diverticulitis: AbscessSmall <5 cm abscesses may resolve with antibiotic therapyPatient with larger abscesses or those who falls to improve with antibiotics should undergo CT guided percutaneous drainageColonic resection is indicated for those who develop either recurrent diverticulitis or another abscess
40. CT- GUIDED DRAINAGE OF DIVERTICULAR ABSCESS:Patient with abscess larger than or equal to 4 cmcan be managed with CT guided abscess drainage followed by elective surgery after resolution.
41. Complicated Diverticulitis: FistulasOccurs in up to 80% of cases requiring surgeryMajor typesColovesical fistula65%Colovaginal25%Coloenteric, colouterine10%
42. COLOVESICAL, COLOUTERINE AND COLOVAGINAL FISTULAE
43. Complicated Diverticulitis: Fistulas – Symptoms-Passage of gas and stool from the affected organColovesical fistula:pneumaturia, dysuria, fecaluria50% of patients can have diarrhoea and passage of urine per rectum
44. Complicated Diverticulitis: FistulasDiagnosisCT: thickened bladder with associated colonic diverticuli adjacent and air in the bladderBE: direct visualization of fistula track only occurs in 20-26% of casesFlexible sigmoidoscopy is low yield (0-3%)Some argue cystoscopy helpful
45. Complicated Diverticulitis: Treatment of colovesical FistulasTwo Approach to treat colovesical fistulaConservative: Without bowel resection by closing the fistula and interposing omentum between bowel and bladder.Conventional: Pinching off the affected bowel from the bladder, resect the sigmoid and perform end to end anastomosis.Bladder hole is left open and put urethral catheter for free drainage
46. Treatment of Complicated Diverticulitis:With generalised peritonitisSurgery is principally directed to control sepsis in the peritoneum and circulation.Vigorous resuscitation and antibiotic therapy.Opoid analgesia.Oxygen therapy.Urinary catheter to assess hourly urine out putResection of sigmoid colon and colorectal anastomosisPrimary resection and anastomosis after on table lavage in selected case.Hartman’s procedure : Resection of sigmoid colon with formation of end colostomy when condition do not favour primary anastomosis
47. Treatment of Complicated Diverticulitis:With obstruction/strictureSymptoms: pain,increasing constipation, passage of ribbon like stoolsHowever majority of patient presents with classic symptoms of large bowel obstructionDiagnosis is confirmed by ; patient’s history, physical examinations and radiological confirmation either by contrast enema or CT with oral/rectal contrast
48. Treatment of Complicated Diverticulitis:With obstruction/strictureConservative approach: Metallic stents to releive colonic obstruction.Endoluminal wall stents: shown to be safe and effective in decompressing obstructionSurgery: Hartman’s resection and resection with primary anastomosis rarely with loop colostomy is the procedure of choice.[Hartmann procedure is two stage procedure includes-Colostomy Sigmoid resection Rectal stump3 months later colostomy takedown and colorectal anastomosis
49. Diverticular bleeding: SymptomsMost only have symptoms of bloating and diarrhea but no significant abdominal painPainless hematocheziaDiverticulitis rarely causes bleeding
50. Diverticular bleeding:Management□Most common cause of brisk hematochezia (30-50% of cases)15% of patients with diverticulosis bleed75% of diverticular bleeding stops without need for interventionPatients requiring less than 4 units : RBCs/ day 99% will stop bleedingRisk of rebleeding 14-38%
51. Diverticular bleeding: ManagementResuscitationLocalizationSupportive care with blood products
52. Diverticular bleeding: LocalizationRight colon is the source of diverticular bleeding in 50-90% of patientsPossible reasonsRight colon diverticuli have wider necks and domes exposing vasa recta over a great length of injuryThinner wall of the right colon
53. Diverticular bleeding:LocalizationColonoscopy after rapid preprationCan localize site of bleedingOffers possible therapeutic intervention (cautery, clip, etc)
54. Diverticular bleeding: Management ( Cauterization )
55. □ A site of active bleeding was identified□ Treated successfully with placement of two hemoclipsDiverticular bleeding:Management
56. Diverticular bleeding: SurgerySurgerySegmental resectionIf site can be localizedRebleeding rate of 0-14%Subtotal colectomyRebleeding rate is 0%High morbidity (37%)High mortality (11-33%)
