Is proximal intestinal diversion associated with increased morbidity in patients undergoing elective colectomy for diverticular disease : an ACS-NSQIP study?
Proximal diversion in the setting of elective segmental colectomy for diverticular disease is uncommon. A combination of preoperative factors and intraoperative factors drives the decision for diversion. Patients who undergo diversion experience increased postoperative morbidity. Surgeons should have a low index of suspicion for postoperative complications and be prepared to mitigate their effect on the patient's outcome.
