BACKGROUND: Diverticulitis has become a medically managed disease process; the indications and timing of surgical intervention have evolved. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed all patients who underwent surgical intervention due to diverticular disease by the Division of Colon and Rectal Surgery from 2012 to 2014. RESULTS: Ninety-eight surgeries were performed. Indications included colovesicular fistula, multiple recurrences of diverticulitis, medically refractory diverticulitis, stricture, abscess, colocutaneous fistula, and colovaginal fistula. Average length of stay was 5.7 +/- 5.9 days (range, 1 to 51). Eighteen patients (18%) required an ostomy. Postoperative complications occurred in 18% of patients, including anastomotic leak (3.3%), wound infection (7.1%), acute kidney injury (5.1%), and urinary tract infection (2.0%). Thirty-day readmission rate was 7.2%; unplanned 30-day reoperation rate was 3.1%. There were no deaths. CONCLUSIONS: The type of patient undergoing surgery for diverticulitis has changed, with selection bias toward chronic, advanced disease due to the proliferation of medical management strategies.
