Faster bowel recovery with superior haemorrhoidal artery preservation in patients undergoing sigmoidectomy for diverticular disease: A retrospective cohort study from the diverticular disease registry trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The pathogenesis of diverticular disease varies significantly and so does its clinical presentation. The procedure for left-sided diverticular disease is standardised, but there is still no consensus on the level of arterial ligation. In 2021, our group initiated the Diverticular Disease Registry (DDR) Trial, a multi-institutional registry on diverticular disease. The aim of this study is to analyse patients enrolled in the DDR who underwent elective laparoscopic sigmoidectomy to determine if different arterial ligations result in differences in bowel function.

Patients and methods

Patients enrolled in the DDR from June 2021 to January 2024 were reviewed. Inclusion criteria included elective sigmoidectomy for diverticular disease, reported pre-operative bowel pr
