COMPLICATED FORMS OF DIVERTICULAR DISEASE OF THE COLONIN THE PRACTICE OF EMERGENCY SURGERY

Abstract

Case histories of patients with complicated forms of diverticular disease of the colon were retrospectively studied. Diverticulum perforation prevailed in the structure of the complications of diverticular disease of the colon. The most common complication was perforation of diverticulum, of sigmoid colon. In the age + group the patients of 50—60 years dominated. Both one-step operations and multi-stage intervention, were used in the surgical treatment of patients with perforations of diverticulum of the colon. The preference was given to surgical interventions with the formation of colostomy.
