Core Tip

Core tip: The present study examined the intra-operative and post-operative clinical outcomes of open vs laparoscopic Hartmann’s reversal in patients first treated for diverticulitis, one of the most common gastrointestinal diseases. By selecting a homogeneous sample of patients, we are able to describe the advantages of laparoscopy in this specific population. The laparoscopic reversal of Hartmann’s procedure appeared to be safe and feasible, with advantages in reduced hospitality stays, complication rates, and heath-related costs compared to the open approach.
