physiological parameters where the patient can be graded pre-operatively (J Trauma Acute

Pericolonicabscesses(HincheyI&II)
So the patient presents with the typical LLQ/lower abdominal
symptoms and signs plus features of SIRS. CT shows a pericolic
abscess.
ThesearedefinedonaCTscanby:
•
Size: I use the arbitrary diameter of 5cm to determine the
management of an abscess. Small abscesses (<5cm) will

usually resolve with antibiotics. Anything less than 5cm is
usually too small to put a drain in anyway (or so my
radiologiststellme).Those>5cmIdrainifaccessible.
•
Location:adjacenttothecolonorwithinthemesentery(Hinchey I)
or extending into thepelvic, abdominal and retroperitonealspaces
(HincheyII).

BTW,thefindingofextraluminalaironCTshouldnotautomaticallytriggeranoperationdueto
‘perforation’.Patients with onlypericolic air and no abscess can be managed non-operatively
with a 99% success rate and no mortality. The risk of failure of non-operative treatment in
patientswithasmallamountofdistantintraperitoneal air and no peritonitisissmall,butmuch
higher if there is abundant intraperitoneal air and fluid in the pouch of Douglas — as

I treat these patients as I do those with non-complicated acute

However, if the abscess has not completely resolved, I would repeat

there is no change, than I discuss surgical resection with the

are in persistent pain — (the latter, hopefully, not caused by irritable

Even less common than Hinchey I, but I see five or six
patients/year.

Again,commonlythereisfreelocalizedfluidandfreeair.Thesepatients
require drainage if the abscess is large (>5cm). This hastens
recovery.
Usually this is achieved with interventional radiology and the
placement of a percutaneous pigtail catheter, under either
ultrasound or CT guidance ( Chapter 46). Once the drain is
removed, if the patient is asymptomatic and has no recurrent
attacks,Iwillcontinuetoobserve.Someadvocateautomaticelective

Similarly,ifyoupalpatetheabscessonrectalexam,drain it in
the operating room through therectum. You willrelieve thesepsis
and the rectum heals rapidly. If a fistula develops from the
sigmoid colon to the rectum, who cares? It is usually
asymptomatic. Most of the time the cavity collapses and
nothingelseneedstobedone.
Finally, if the patient has an abscess that is surrounded by
intestine making percutaneous drainage impossible, consider
laparoscopic drainage. If you are able to laparoscopically drain the
abscess,andnocolonperforationisseen,thencleanoutthecavityand
leave a drain; if the patient recovers you are done — nothing else is
needed.Ifsymptomspersistyoucancomebackin8weekstoperforma

HincheyIIIpatients
Very rare — I’m only seeing one to two patients a year. What
aboutyou?
These patients suffer from purulent peritonitis or PID (“pus in der
Bauch…” aswesay inBaltimore,with itsrich Germanheritage).They
presentwithgeneralizedabdominalpainandperitonitis.ACTscan
will show a variable quantity and distribution of free air and free
fluid. In addition, an inflamed segment of large intestine is seen,
usually the sigmoid colon, and there may still be a recognizable
abscess,either pericolonic or pelvic. Thepatient is usually sick and
may be severely septic. Initial management begins with fluid
resuscitation,broad-spectrumantibiotics,andpaincontrol.
How we manage these patients is then decided based on the
severityoftheirsepticstate.PracticallyspeakingIdefine‘ill’(relatedto
thepatient’s sepsisandcomorbid medical conditions)asthose patients
who are in a monitored setting, requiring pharmacological support for
their blood pressure, and/ordemonstrating another system failure such
as renal or respiratory deterioration. A patient’s comorbid medical
conditions also factor into my classification of ‘ill’. If the patient suffers
from heart failure, is malnourished (albumin <3.0g/dL), or is
immunosuppressed(transplantorchemotherapypatients),Iconsiderhim
tobe athigherrisk. Ageis lessofa factorin my opinion;a 45-year-old

Thesepatientshavepain,peritonealsignsandfeverbuthavenoother
septic sequelae. I have colleagues that will manage these patients
with i.v. antibiotics, bowel rest and — selectively — placement of
oneormorepercutaneousdrainsinlargercollections.Ithinkthisisa
reasonable approach, especially if the CT findings are localized rather
thandiffuse.Ofcourse,suchpatientsmustbecloselywatchedtoensure
thattheydon’tdeteriorate.Iamalsoconvincedthatthismanagement
choice results in prolonged hospital stays. I am, therefore, an

advocate of a diagnostic laparoscopy and peritoneal lavage with
drainage (to be described below).I thinkthepatients recover faster
andhaveminimalmorbidityfromtheprocedure.Thereisnoneedto
resect the colon at this time as long as you don’t identify a
perforation.Again, conservativetreatmentwith antibioticsmayachieve
the same results but in my experience is associated with a longer
morbidityandhospitalstay.
Septicbutnotcritical
Thesepatientsaresicker—tachycardia,fever,pain,tenderness,and

patients laparoscopically as well; of course, after optimal resuscitation
and i.v. antibiotics. If they don’t tolerate pneumoperitoneum (which
shouldnothappenifhypovolemiahasbeencorrected)thenconvert
toalaparotomy.Atlaparoscopydoasdescribedbelow…
Criticallyill
These are the patients that are hemodynamically unstable, requiring
pressor support, or in respiratory distress. I don’t mess about with
these patients! After stabilizing them in the ICU, I proceed
immediatelytotheoperatingroom,makealargeincisionandresect
the diverticular segment (if possible), clean the belly out, and
mature an end colostomy. If I can’t resect (rarely) then I drain and
divert.Theirbestchanceforsurvivalisaquick,safeoperationforsource

Istillfollowtheabovecoursebasedonthepatient’ssepticstatus.But
if I find feculent peritonitis on laparoscopy, I will convert to a
laparotomy and perform a resection and end colostomy — a
Hartmann’s procedure and ‘peritoneal toilet’. Older studies have
relayed a ~30% mortality associated with feculent peritonitis. Newer
studieshavequestionedthis,andsomeevengoontoadvocatetheuse

Whether performing a laparoscopic procedure or an open
resection,theprinciplesforoperatingonacutediverticulitisarethe

Afterinitiatingthedissectioninacleanplane,locatetheureter.

After finding the ureter,always ensure itis lateral toyour plane of

Less is morewhen patients are sick. So If the patient is septic
and not doing well, perform a proximal diversion, clean out and
drain,andcomebacktofightanotherday.
