Diverticulitis complicated by a pelvic abscess was treated by percutaneous drainage followed by elective single-stage sigmoidectomy. Restoration of intestinal continuity was done by end-of-colon to side-of-rectum stapled anastomosis. An omental pedicle flap was placed between the colorectal anastomosis and the vaginal cuff to prevent colovaginal fistula. Intraoperative colonoscopy cleared the colon of proximal neoplasms.

摘要

Diverticulitis complicated by a pelvic abscess was treated by percutaneous drainage followed by elective single-stage sigmoidectomy. Restoration of intestinal continuity was done by end-of-colon to side-of-rectum stapled anastomosis. An omental pedicle flap was placed between the colorectal anastomosis and the vaginal cuff to prevent colovaginal fistula. Intraoperative colonoscopy cleared the colon of proximal neoplasms.
