A double row epiploicoplasty for primary closure of free perforated sigmoid diverticulitis

ABSTRACT

Acute free perforation of the sigmoid diverticulitis is an emergency surgical intervention required condition. Although the sigmoid resection and temporary end colostomy or abdominal lavage and drainage are the most commonly used surgical methods for its treatment, the most effective surgical method has not been established yet. We applied a different surgical method for the surgical treatment of free perforation of acute sigmoid diverticulitis outside of these surgical procedures. A double row epiploicoplasty was performed for surgical treatment of free perforated sigmoid diverticulitis with surgical success in a patient who had concominant serious diseases.
