Staged resection of the sigmoid colon has been the traditional strategy for treating patients who require nonelective surgery to manage complications of diverticular disease. Resection and primary anastomosis has not generally been recommended when the clinical setting is compromised by contiguous inflammation or inadequate mechanical cleansing of the colon because of concerns regarding the potential risk of anastomotic dehiscence. Although many reports have confirmed that intraoperative colonic lavage (ICL) is a safe method for relieving fecal loading of the colon to facilitate primary intestinal anastomosis in patients with mechanical obstruction of the distal colon, there is very limited experience with the use of this technique in treating acute inflammatory disorders of the colon. In this report, we present our results with ICL in the nonelective treatment of patients with complications of diverticulitis.
