Acute left-sided diverticulitis is the most common presentation of
acute diverticulitis, and it can be divided into complicated and uncomplicated
diverticulitis. The surgical management of complicated diverticulitis can be
divided into Hartmann’s procedure or Sigmoid resection and anastomosis with a
covering ileostomy. Damage control surgery is performed for complicated
left-sided diverticulitis who are hemodynamically unstable. Laparoscopic lavage
is a bridging procedure that is performed in complicated diverticulitis with
purulent discharge or Hinchy 3 to stabilise them and perform definitive surgery
later. In this review, we will look at the role of surgical management of
complicated left-sided diverticulitis, the Hartmann’s procedure, and colonic
resection with anastomosis. We will also look at the role of laparoscopic
lavage for complicated diverticulitis.
