Characteristics of Abdominal Fluid in Patients With Diverticulitis Hinchey III or IV
Sponsor: Sahlgrenska University Hospital
Summary
Perforated diverticulitis of the colon can be complicated by peritonitis, either purulent or fecal. Both are life threatening conditions requiring emergency surgery. The background in terms of reasons for inflammation (diverticulitis) and perforation to develop is unknown. In this study we focus on specific changes associated with inflammation, both in tissues and of fecal and mucosal microbiota.
