Sponsor's own description

Brief Summary This multicenter study compares the effectiveness of primary anastomosis with diverting loop ileostomy to Hartmann's procedure for managing perforated sigmoid diverticulitis in stable patients. The findings demonstrate that primary anastomosis with diverting loop ileostomy offers superior long-term outcomes, including higher stoma reversal rates (92% versus 58%), shorter time to closure, and fewer parastomal hernias, contributing to improved quality of life. Kaplan-Meier analysis further supports the benefits of primary anastomosis with diverting loop ileostomy, showing significantly better stoma-free survival rates at 24 months. Despite higher short-term readmission rates due to ileostomy-related complications, patients undergoing primary anastomosis with diverting loop ileostomy experienced shorter hospital stays and fewer long-term complications compared to patients undergoing Hartmann's procedure. While Hartmann's procedure remains crucial for unstable cases, the functional and psychological advantages of primary anastomosis with diverting loop ileostomy underscore its value for stable patients. Future research should focus on randomized trials and minimally invasive approaches to refine surgical strategies.
