Abstract | Background: Current guidelines recommend elective colectomy for the management of diverticulitis-associated fistulas. These cases present considerable operative challenges, and surgical approaches and fistula tract management vary widely. Hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery offers the benefits of minimally invasive surgery while maintaining the tactile advantages of open surgery. This study aims to evaluate outcomes of hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery colectomy for diverticulitis-associated fistulas, fistula tract, and urinary catheter management. Methods: A retrospective review of patients with diverticulitis-associated fistula who underwent elective hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery colectomy between January 2, 2008, and September 8, 2022, was performed. Patients with Crohn disease or who underwent emergency surgery were excluded. Results: Seventy patients were included; the mean patient age was 64.1 ± 14.8 years, and the mean body mass index was 30.9 ± 9.1 kg/m Conclusion: The challenges of colectomy for diverticulitis-associated fistulas can be mitigated using the hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery technique. We found a low conversion-to-open rate, falling below rates reported for laparoscopic colectomy. There were no cases of postoperative urine leak, suggesting that no intervention or omental coverage is a safe approach to fistula tract management. |
