BACKGROUND: It is possible to resect the perforated segment and reestablish intestinal continuity with adequate morbidity and mortality results in @entity1 with complicated @entity4436 . AIMS: To evaluate the type of surgery performed at our center and the results of the procedures in @entity1 with complicated @entity4436 . MATERIAL AND METHODS: All @entity1 that underwent sigmoidectomy due to complicated @entity4436 within the time frame of 2005-2012 were included in the study. The primary objective was to evaluate the type of surgery performed. The secondary objective was to evaluate @entity1 morbidity and mortality after 30 postoperative days. RESULTS: The study included 77 @entity1 with a mean age of 51.17  12.80 years. The majority of the @entity1 were @entity1 (64.9%) (n=50) and the mean BMI was 28.24  4.06kg/m2. A total of 63.6% (n=49) @entity1 presented with a Hinchey iii-iv classification. Sigmoidectomy with primary @entity254 was performed in 58.4% (n=45) of the @entity1 , 48.8% (22/45) of whom presented with Hinchey iii-iv. Primary @entity254 was more frequently performed in @entity1 that had Hinchey i-ii(P=.001). Open surgery was carried out in 85.7% (n=66) of the cases. The mean surgery duration was longer in the @entity1 with primary @entity254 (181.73  68.2min vs. 152.13  65.8min) (P>.05). Colorectal surgeons performed the procedures in 44.2% (n=34) of the cases. Complications presented in 23.4% (n=18) of the @entity1 and there was a tendency toward more complications in @entity1 that underwent the Hartmann's procedure. The mortality rate was 2.6% (n=2). CONCLUSIONS: Sigmoidectomy with primary @entity254 is a frequent surgery in @entity1 with complicated @entity4436 at our hospital. There was no difference in morbidity and mortality, compared with the Hartmann's procedure.
