Primary anastomosis is becoming increasingly favoured because of the shorter hospital stay even in emergency operations on the colon and rectum. This appears entirely justified when an objective of cost-effective medicine has been set. At our hospital between September 1985 and February 1999, 365 patients were operated on because of diverticular disease. The data from 346 of these patients were evaluated. 202 of these cases were elective; 144 were carried out on an emergency or urgent basis. In 223 cases, a primary anastomosis (Stage I and II according to Hinchey) and in 56 patients a double-barreled colostomy with a distal mucus fistula were performed. 57 patients had a too short rectum-sigma stump and were operated in two stages, according to Hartmann. Of 223 patients with a primary anastomosis, 6 (2.7%) developed an insufficiency of the anastomosis, whereby 3 (1.3%) of these patients subsequently died. Of the patients with Hartmann operation, 11 (19.3%) died due to the sequelae of peritonitis and only 2 patients died following insufficiency of the Hartmann's stump. Of the patients with a mucus fistula, 10 patients (17.9%) died as a result of complications of peritonitis. Of the 113 patients (21 died) with a discontinuity resection, 66 (71%) had their colostomy closed. There were no cases of anastomosis insufficiency and no patient died as a result of the colostomy closure. In the interest of the patients in septic diverticulitis the safest surgical procedure, the discontinuity resection, should be chosen.
