Interlocution after liberation: Who do we interpret with and which biblical text do we read with?
Authors: West Gerald O.
Published: September 2020

This article aims to point out two seminal reflections on interlocution: Frostin’s insightful late-1980s (1988) analysis of ‘Third World’ liberation theologies and his contention that the decisive question for liberation theologies was the question of who the primary dialogue partners of liberation theology have been and should be, and Vuyani Vellem’s more recent millennial (2012) reflection on how South African Black Theology after liberation has grappled and should grapple with the notion of interlocution. My choice of these two scholars is not idiosyncratic, for Vellem uses Frostin’s work as one of his starting points. I build on this conversation, reflecting with Vellem on how we might understand the issue of interlocution within black and kindred liberation and prophetic theologies today. My particular emphasis is on biblical hermeneutics; therefore, my contribution to the conversation frames my reflections within a particular phase of Black Theology in which the Bible is most significantly problematised, what Tinyiko Maluleke refers to as the second phase of Black Theology. The conundrum Itumeleng Mosala poses for Black Theology is how the recognition of the Bible as itself – intrinsically, inherently and indelibly – ‘a site of struggle’ reconfigures interlocution. Mosala, I will argue, forces us to not only ask who we interpret with when we do Black Theology, but also ask which biblical texts we read, for not all biblical texts offer resources for liberation.Contribution: This article makes a contribution to the VukaniBantuTsohangBatho – Spirituality of Black Liberation collection in which the work of Vuyani Vellem is celebrated and critically engaged. Specifically, the article interrogates and contributes to Vuyani’s Vellem understanding of ‘locution’, and asks how this concept impacts our understanding of biblical text.

Authors: Fobian Dale , Maloa Frans
Published: September 2020

Orientation: The generational diversity of employees evident in today’s workforce and the important role of reward in meeting a wide variety of needs to attract, motivate and retain employees for the organisation are a key strategic contribution.Research purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore how, whether and to what degree employees from different generational groups differ about preferences on total reward components in the fast-moving consumer goods industry, for purposes of attraction, retention and motivation.Motivation for the study: The rationale for this study was to explore and improve the understanding of reward preferences of different generation groups.Research design and method: The research was a quantitative, empirical and descriptive study of reward preferences in an industry-specific context. A self-administered survey instrument was used and analysed using tests for internal consistency and scale reliability, various measures for factor analysis and a general linear model, involving a multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA), to test for significant differences between independent and dependent variables.Main findings: Baby Boomers, Xers and Millennials did not differ significantly about preferences regarding financial and non-financial rewards. Millennials do not prefer non-financial rewards to financial rewards. The variance, however, was not large.Practical or managerial implications: The research results provide management with informed knowledge of the types of rewards that can be administered to employees of different generational groups to attract, retain and motivate them.Contribution and value add: The research has added insight into the reward preferences of generational groups and made recommendations for improving reward strategy for the attraction, retention and motivation of employees in the fast-moving consumer goods industry.
Illustrating school-to-work transition through drawings: An exploratory study with a sample of South African students
Authors: Harry Tinashe , Chinyamurindi Willie T.
Published: September 2020

Orientation: Unemployment is a matter of great concern within the South African context.Research purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of students who are in preparation to enter the labour market, to generate data about students’ experiences of being unemployed and to explore the usefulness of diagrams as a data generation tool in exploring such experiences.Motivation for the study: There is need to understand transition experiences of unemployed youths in South Africa and the basis for making interventions.Research approach/design and method: A qualitative research approach utilising a participatory research design technique was used.Main findings: Three main drawings are illustrated that express students’ concern regarding this transition. These drawings heighten the focus on (1) individual evaluation of students as they make the transition, (2) evaluation of the university enrolment experience and (3) students’ concern about their future, albeit the high unemployment rate in South Africa.Managerial/practical implications: Through the reflections from the drawings, suggestions are made to assist researchers, career counsellors and students.Contribution/value-addition: This article contributes to the literature on the use and need of using the visual methodology as a part of data generation, especially when working with vulnerable students.
Implementation of human resource management functions in selected small manufacturing companies in Ga-Rankuwa industrial area, Gauteng, South Africa
Authors: Potgieter Ingrid L. , Mokomane Segopotse E.
Published: September 2020

Orientation: Human resource management (HRM) is a fundamental element in the success of any organisation. Research on HRM functions in medium and large organisations has been given much attention. However, few research studies have been conducted in assessing the importance and implementation of HRM functions in small companies.Research purpose: The objective of this study was to investigate the implementation of HRM functions and its perceived importance in small manufacturing companies (SMC), as well as the limitations or barriers to effective HRM implementation in SMCs.The motivation for the study: Human resource management functions play a strategic role in any organisation. Literature studies indicate that relatively little is known about HRM functions in small businesses. This research aimed to contribute to the knowledge of HRM and enhance the understanding and importance of the HRM functions in SMCs.Research approach/design and method: A qualitative research design was followed. A convenience sampling technique was used with eight participants. Data were collected by means of semi-structured interviews.Main findings: The HRM functions of recruitment and orientation, general labour relations, human resource information systems (HRIS), performance management, training and development, and remuneration and benefit were informally implemented and acknowledged as crucial in SMCs. The study further found that a limited budget, lack of resources and capacity, inadequate systems, ineffective employment relationships, lack of knowledge and understanding of HRM functions and business instability negatively affect SMCs to implement all HRM functions within the business and therefore negatively influence the performance of the company.Practical/managerial implications: All managers/owners and employees are aware of all the HRM functions that could enhance the performance and success of their organisation.Contribution/value-add: The study findings will assist SMCs to implement and understand the importance of HRM functions as well as the barriers to effective implementation of HRM functions.
A technology, organisation and environment framework analysis of information and communication technology adoption by small and medium enterprises in Pietermaritzburg
Authors: Jere Joseph N. , Ngidi Nsikelelo
Published: September 2020

Background: Information and communication technology (ICT) has been a major contributor to world economic growth. Information and communication technology has played a vital role when it comes to the growth of small and medium enterprises (SMEs). In developed countries, SMEs are making use of ICT to support their business functions, although this has not been the case in most developing countries. The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor argues that the survival rate of newly established businesses is generally poor, with SMEs in developing countries performing even worse than the standard survival rates.Objectives: This study aims to investigate the determinants that influence the intention to adopt ICT by SMEs in developing countries using Pietermaritzburg in South Africa as an example to understand this phenomenon.Method: The study made use of quantitative methods as its fundamental research approach. A total of 227 SMEs in Pietermaritzburg were surveyed using a close-ended questionnaire. The technology, organisation and environment framework was used as a lens to understand the study, and a structural equation modelling (SEM) approach was applied to analyse the data from respondents.Results: The study revealed that the technology context is the most influential determinant with a regression weight of 0.975 and that both technology and organisation contexts (-0.221) are significant determinants that influence the intention to adopt ICT amongst SMEs in developing countries.Conclusion: Based on the findings of the study, it is evident that SMEs need to pay particular attention to ICTs that are relevant to them, including the characteristics and resources of the organisation to successfully adopt these technologies.
A relevant ministry for the armed forces: An agenda for the South African National Defence Force chaplains praxis
Authors: Masuku Mnyalaza T.
Published: September 2020

Chaplaincy in South Africa (SA) recently became an attractive ministry and research fields for both ministers and theologians, respectively, more especially since the dawn of democracy in 1994. The military chaplaincy has been flooded with applications and enquiries from ministers and leaders from religions other than Christianity who want to secure their space in the ministry to the SA armed forces. Individual churches are also joining the queue for enquiries. As SA is a multireligious nation, religions other than Christianity are also knocking at the door of the South African National Defence Force (SANDF), claiming their right to be accommodated. For this reason, it is important for churches, other religious organisations, leaders, ministers and theological institutions or faculties to have knowledge of this unique world and its context, as well as the ministry dynamics and challenges involved. This will assist them in order to prepare appropriately in terms of shaping the curricula and qualifications of their ministers for effective ministry to the armed forces with special reference to the SANDF. This article investigates the dynamics of the military chaplaincy in relation to historical developments along similar chaplaincies globally, the nature of its ministry to the SA armed forces and the challenges posed by the ministry context (SANDF environment), and finally, it crafts and proposes a suitable curriculum for a relevant and effective ministry in the SANDF and the world.Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: This article is located in the field of Missiology. However, it has interdisciplinary implications that affect disciplines such as Military Science, Sociology, Practical Theology and Church History, which all assist as building blocks towards a relevant ministry for the armed forces.
Environmental safety in minimal access surgery and its bio-economics
Authors: Khanna Subhash , Hazarika Arup Kumar , Kalita Unmilan
Published: September 2020

Introduction:

Minimal access surgery has altered the field of surgery with its revolutionary advancements with respect to laparoscopy wherein the latter has been elevated to a safer procedure than ever before. However, along with its benefits, minimally invasive surgical procedures have detrimental environmental implications as well. Further, the overall bio-economics of carbon emissions during the surgery is another important factor.

Aim:

The present article makes an effort to discuss and analyse the carbon footprint of minimal access surgery and to understand the co-benefits and co-costs in terms of environmental safety and bio-economics.

Results:

The findings indicate that carbon footprint in these surgical procedures are rarely studied which otherwise bear significant negative relations with respect to the environment.

Conclusions:

The study concludes that work on improving the design of these technologies is to be done so that apart from reducing the costs improvement of safety, comfort and better impact on future generation can also be achieved.
Laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy for obstructive defecation syndrome
Authors: Mandovra Pranav , Kalikar Vishakha , Patankar Roy V.
Published: September 2020

Context:

Obstructive defecation syndrome (ODS) is a poorly understood cause of constipation. In selected patients not responding to conservative management, surgical options may be offered. Laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy (LVMR) is another surgical option which gained popularity in the past decade.

Aim:

This study aims to identify the efficacy of LVMR in the Indian population.

Setting and Design:

It is a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data of patients who underwent LVMR from January 2015 to January 2017 at a tertiary centre in India.

Subjects and Methods:

Thirty patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Patients were periodically followed for 2 years. Pre- and post-operative modified Longo's ODS scores were recorded and compared. Furthermore, other complications were noted and evaluated.

Statistical Analysis Used:

Relevant statistical tests were used to analyse the collected data.

Results:

Thirty patients (28 females, 2 males, mean age: 52.4 years) underwent LVMR for ODS due to anatomical abnormality like rectorectal intussusceptions (RRIs) (36.7%), rectocele (13.3%), or combined RRI with rectocele (50%). The mean pre-operative modified Longo's ODS score was 23.17 ± 4.82 which decreased to 2.37 ± 1.59 at the end of 6 months and 1.23 ± 1.14 and 1.57 ± 1.14 at the end of 12 months and 2 years, respectively. The mean modified Longo's ODS score showed a significant fall of 94.7% at 12-month follow-up and 93.2% fall on 2-year follow-up. The mean operative time was 115 min and the average hospital stay of patients who underwent LVMR was 3.26 days.

Conclusion:

LVMR is a safe surgical procedure with minimal complications and good functional results for ODS patients due to rectal anatomical abnormality. Further larger studies are required to decide the best treatment modality for ODS.
Emergency laparoscopic surgery for ruptured pancreatic pseudocyst
Authors: Linn Yun Le , Wang Zhongkai , Goh Brian K. P.
Published: September 2020

Pancreatic pseudocyst (PP) is a known complication of pancreatitis. When a rupture occurs, patients often become haemodynamically unstable and require emergency surgery for source control. Conventionally, such a procedure is carried out through open technique due to patient, surgeon and technical factors. We present two cases of emergency laparoscopic surgery performed for ruptured PP. Our first patient was a 53-year-old male with a ruptured 17.6 cm pancreatic body pseudocyst who underwent a laparoscopic washout, adhesiolysis, necrosectomy, distal pancreatectosplenectomy and cholecystectomy. The second patient was a 66-year-old male with a ruptured 11 cm pancreatic body pseudocyst who underwent laparoscopic surgery, subsequently converted to hand-assisted surgery. We compare our cases with the existing literature and discuss pertinent management considerations. In conclusion, we demonstrated that emergency laparoscopic adhesiolysis, necrosectomy and distal pancreatosplenectomy are feasible and safe for the management of ruptured pseudocyst when performed by an experienced surgeon. However, further studies are needed to determine the advantages or limitations of the minimally invasive surgical approach for the management of these complicated cases.
Single-incision versus four-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy in an ambulatory surgery setting
Authors: Subirana Helena , Rey Francisco Javier , Barri Joan , Robres Joaquim , Parra Lourdes , Martín Montserrat , Memba Robert , Mullerat Josep Maria , Jorba Rosa
Published: September 2020

Background:

Single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) can be done as a day-case procedure and may have advantages over conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). We present the results of our study looking at post-operative pain and post-operative recovery time.

Methods:

This was a single-institution randomised double-blind controlled trial. Seventy-three patients with symptomatic cholelithiasis were randomized to SILC (n = 37) or LC (n = 36). The primary endpoint was to compare post-operative pain. We also compared surgical time, procedural difficulty, adverse events, additional ports used and conversion rate, success of day surgery process, return to work, aesthetic satisfaction, quality of life and 4-year incisional hernia rate.

Results:

In the SILC group, post-operative analgesic requirements were lower on day 7, there was an earlier return to work and cosmetic satisfaction was significantly higher. The SILC procedure presented a higher technical difficulty. Operative time, surgical complications, post-operative pain, success of the day-case process, return to normal activity, quality of life scores and incisional hernia rates were similar for both the procedures.

Conclusions:

SILC has advantages over LC in terms of late post-operative analgesic requirements and aesthetic results; however, it is technically harder to perform. There was no benefit in terms of day surgery outcomes.
Kredi Teminatı Olarak Alınan Gayrimenkul İpoteklerinde Bankalarca Karşılaşılan Sorunlar Üzerine Bir Değerlendirme
Authors: YURTSEVER Hatice
Published: September 2020

Bankalar, faaliyet alanları, kuruluşları, yönetimleri, iç denetim sistemleri, finansal raporlamaları, öz sermayeleri, sermaye yeterlik oranları ve bağımsız denetimleri bakımından ticaret şirketleri içerisinde oldukça farklı ve önemli yeri olan güven kurumlarıdır. Bu nedenle de başta 5411 sayılı Bankalar Kanunu olmak üzere, 6098 sayılı Türk Borçlar Kanunu ile A.Ş. halinde kurulmuş oldukları için 6102 sayılı Türk Ticaret Kanunu’ na da tabi olmak durumundadırlar.

5411 sayılı Bankacılık Kanunu’ nun 1. Maddesinde, bu kanun ile, finansal piyasalarda güven ve istikrarın sağlanmasına, kredi sisteminin etkin bir şekilde çalışmasına, tasarruf sahiplerinin hak ve menfaatlerinin korunmasına ilişkin usul ve esaslar düzenlenmektedir. Mali piyasaların güven ve istikrar içinde, ekonomik ve sosyal ihtiyaçlara uygun olarak çalışmasını sağlamak üzere bankaların kuruluşu ve faaliyetlerine ilişkin yasal düzenlemeler ayrı bir kanunla düzenlenmiştir.

Bankalar, fon fazlası olan kişilerden topladıkları paraları, fon ihtiyacı olan kesime aktarmak biçiminde ki temel faaliyet konusu olan para ticaretini yaparken, hem bankanın, hem toplumun hem de tüm ekonominin çıkarlarına hizmet etmek üzere, kullandırdıkları paraların geri dönüşünü sağlamak durumundadırlar.

Bankalar; kişilere veya firmalara kullandırdıkları kredilerin teminatını oluşturmak üzere zaman zaman kişi ve/veya firmalar üzerinde kayıtlı gayrimenkuller üzerine ipotek tesis etmek suretiyle, kredinin geri ödenmesi sırasında ortaya çıkabilecek ödenmeme riskini bertaraf etmeye çalışmaktadırlar.

Bankalarca teminat olarak alınan gayrimenkul ipotek işlemleri nedeniyle bazı sorunlar ortaya çıkmaktadır. Ortaya çıkan bu sorunlar, kredi teminatının zayıflamasına, riskin yükselmesine neden olabileceği gibi, kredi müşterisinin ya da, kredi müşterisi ile iş yapan üçüncü şahsıların hukuksal sorunlar yaşamasına neden olabilmektedir. Kredi borcunun sona ermesi, ya da bankanın kredi koşullarını değiştirmesi sonucunda gayrimenkul üzerinde mevcut ipoteğin kaldırılması gerekmektedir. Uygulamada, ipotek işlemlerinden fek işlemlerine kadar taraflar birtakım sorunlar ile karşılaşılabilmektedir. Bu sorunların çözümünde bankalara önemli görevler düşmektedir. Çalışmada, banka teminatı olarak ipotek işlemleri, ipotek işlemlerinin hukuksal boyutu, ipotek konulması, kaldırılması sırasında yaşanan sorunlar ve bu sorunlara ilişkin tartışmalar, yasal mevzuat, yargı kararları içerisinde incelenmeye çalışılacaktır. Bu çerçevede, bankaların sorumluluğu da yasal olarak değerlendirilmeye çalışılacaktır.

Authors: Anleu Pérez Sonia Maritza
Published: September 2020

En el presente artículo se dan a conocer los resultados de la tesis “Competencias matemáticas en la formación del profesorado en Educación Primaria en Universidad del Valle de Guatemala campus Altiplano”. Según el Ministerio de Educación los resultados de la prueba de matemática aplicada a los optantes a plazas fue el 37.10% de respuestas correctas, lo que evidencia un conocimiento bajo en matemática. Para investigar si los futuros profesores tienen dominio en los contenidos matemáticos, se realizó un estudio cualitativo en una universidad del departamento de Sololá; consistió en entrevistar a los diez estudiantes inscritos en el último ciclo de la carrera, asimismo se aplicó micro relatos de vida, escritos por 4 profesores egresados y a 3 docentes que facilitan los cursos de matemática. El principal hallazgo, denota que existen 2 factores que influyen en el bajo nivel de rendimiento matemático que los profesores de educación primaria tienen, uno de ellos es la falta de interés en aprenderla debido al temor que les genera y el otro factor es la formación académica con escasa educación en matemática. Se concluye que es de suma importancia revisar el pensum actual de estudios de la carrera, en relación a la cantidad de cursos específicos de matemática que contiene y el tiempo que se brinda a ellos en los períodos de clases. Los estudiantes entrevistados consideran que el nivel de dominio matemático que poseen no corresponde al perfil profesional que debería tener, lo cual no permite el desempeño efectivo en la enseñanza de la matemática.

Authors: Barletta Diego Hernán
Published: September 2020

Contexto y antecedentes: La elaboración e implementación de guías clínicas pretende brindar ayuda en la toma de decisiones respecto de un determinado problema de salud, sintetizando en forma de recomendaciones la mejor evidencia disponible. Con respecto a la diverticulitis aguda, pese a la gran cantidad de guías que se han elaborado, aún hoy seobserva un bajo nivel de consenso en varios aspectos de su manejo.Objetivos: Este trabajo representa la primera encuesta que mide el nivel de consenso y la aplicación de guías internacionales sobre el manejo de la diverticulitis aguda entre los miembros de la SACP o entre cualquier otra agrupación médica a nivel nacional.Métodos: Se distribuyó una encuesta online a 313 miembros de la SACP, las respuestas se recolectaron en un período de 2 meses.Resultados: La encuesta obtuvo una tasa de respuesta de 19,5%. Solo 17 enunciados superaron el corte de 70% de nivel de consenso. De ellos, 11 enunciados estuvieron de acuerdo mientras que 2 enunciados estuvieron en desacuerdo con las recomendaciones de las guías internacionales y en los 4 enunciados restantes no pudo valorarse la concordancia debido afalta de respuesta univoca en las guías.Conclusiones: La amplia heterogeneidad en el manejo de la diverticulitis aguda entre los miembros de la SACP junto con la baja evidencia de los trabajos científicos, la pobre metodología empleada en las guías internacionales y la necesidad de contar con datos locales sobre costos y preferencias, hacen evidente la necesidad que en nuestro ámbito se comience a investigar en forma sistematizada para lograr una guía y consenso nacional.

Published: September 2020

Introducción: La enfermedad diverticular de colon es una patología de alta prevalencia en nuestro medio. Su presentación inicial como fistulas no complicadas no es frecuente sin antecedentes de episodios de diverticulitis previa.Objetivos: Presentar detalles técnicos de la cirugía de resección y tratamiento laparoscópico de una fistula colovesical de origen diverticular.Materiales y métodos: Se presenta el caso de un paciente varón de 63 años con dolor en hipogastrio sin alteraciones evacuatorias ni cirugías previas. Sin antecedentes de diverticulitis. Se realizó ecografía abdominal y tomografía computada donde se constata aire en vejiga. El urocultivo es positivo para escherichia coli y el colon por enema detecta pequeñotrayecto fistuloso entre colon sigmoides y vejiga. Se decide resección laparoscópica.Resultados: Se realizó una colectomía sigmoidea laparoscópica con identificación de trayecto fistuloso a la vejiga que se aisló y seccionó entre clips de polímero. Se completó con anastomosis primara colorrectal y sondaje vesical prolongado que se retiró a los 15 días. Los parámetros postoperatorios fueron favorables con egreso a las 72 hs.Conclusión: La fístula colovesical es una complicación de la enfermedad diverticular de colon aunque es rara su debut como forma de presentación sin epidosios de diverticulitis previa. Se destaca su identificación como trayecto único y no hemos encontrado mención al respecto en la bibliografía. Su resolución de ligadura entre clips es una opción terapéuticaefectiva y rápida para su resolución definitiva. El abordaje laparoscópico electivo es de elección y su tratamiento mediante el procedimiento propuesto resultó efectivo y seguro.
Peritonitis Diverticular: ¿Qué Nos Enseñó Ladies Trial? Análisis Metodológico de su Diseño, Aplicación y Resultados
Authors: Barletta Diego Hernán
Published: September 2020

Contexto y Antecedentes: LADIES TRIAL es uno de los ensayos más importantes referidos a peritonitis diverticular. A pesar de este y otros ensayos publicados, aún se debate cuáles son los procedimientos adecuados para cada escenario de peritonitis diverticular, haciendo necesaria una revisión profunda de la metodología empleada en los ensayos para validar u objetar sus conclusiones.Objetivos: Analizar la metodología empleada en el diseño, aplicación, análisis de resultados y conclusiones de sus publicaciones. Secundariamente, colaborar en el mejoramiento de la investigación de la peritonitis diverticular y facilitar el análisis del tema por parte de los lectores.Métodos: Se analizaron las partes centrales de toda investigación, desde la pregunta de investigación, elaboración de hipótesis, operacionalización de variables y diseño del ensayo, análisis estadístico de resultados y conclusiones. Se buscaron errores, sesgos y debilidades que pudiesen objetar los hallazgos del estudio.Resultados: LADIES se trató de un estudio randomizado, abierto con análisis de superioridad según intención de tratar modificada en aquellos casos de incumplimiento de los criterios de inclusión y exclusión. Su diseño fue en general correcto, aunque en su aplicación se detectaron errores, debilidades y sesgos. En cuanto a resultados LOLA mostró que en Hinchey III el lavado laparoscópico tiene mayor morbimortalidad temprana que la sigmoidectomía, con un tiempo operatorio menor. Por su parte, DIVA mostró que en Hinchey III y IV la anastomosis primaria tiene mayor sobrevida libre de ostomía con menor morbilidad, combinando la cirugía inicial y cierre ostomía, respecto de la operación de Hartmann.Conclusiones: El no haber llegado al tamaño de muestra calculado hizo que solo grandes diferencias consiguieran significancia estadística. Las bajas frecuencias de eventos adversos acentuaron este problema metodológico. La especialización de los centros y cirujanos intervinientes, como la exclusión de pacientes hemodinámicamente inestables o bajo corticoterapia comprometieron su validación externa.

Published: September 2020

Introducción: La sigmoidectomía por diverticulitis perforada es una cirugía de urgencia comúnmente realizada por cirujanos generales. Está descripta la correlación positiva entre el volumen del cirujano y los mejores resultados postoperatorios. Sin embargo, existe escasa evidencia de la influencia de la especialización en cirugía colorrectal sobre los resultados de la sigmoidectomía laparoscópica por diverticulitis perforada.Objetivo: Evaluar el impacto de la especialización en cirugía colorrectal en los resultados postoperatorios de la sigmoidectomía laparoscópica por diverticulitis Hinchey III.Diseño: Estudio retrospectivo sobre una base de datos cargada de forma prospectiva.Material y métodos: Se incluyeron pacientes sometidos a sigmoidectomía laparoscópica por diverticulitis perforada Hinchey III. La muestra fue dividida en dos grupos: pacientes operados por un cirujano colorrectal (CC) y aquellos operados por un cirujano general (CG). Las variables demográficas, operatorias y postoperatorias fueron comparadas entre los grupos. El objetivo primario fue determinar si existían diferencias en la proporción de anastomosis primaria, morbilidad y mortalidad a 30 días entre los grupos. Resultados: Se incluyeron 101 pacientes en el análisis; 58 operados por CC y 43 por CG. Los pacientes operados por CC presentaron una mayor proporción de anastomosis primaria (CC: 98,3% vs. CG: 67,4%, p<0,001). Los CG realizaron más estomas (CC: 13,8% vs. CG: 46,5%, p<0,001), presentaron un mayor índice de conversión (CC: 20,6% vs. CG: 39,5%, p=0,03) y una mayor estadía hospitalaria (CC: 6,2 vs. CG: 10,8 días, p<0,001). La morbilidad global (CC: 34,4% vs. CG: 46,5%, p=0.22), dehiscencia anastomótica (CC: 3,5% vs. CG: 6,8%, p=0.48) y la mortalidad (CC: 1,7% vs. CG: 9,3 %, p=0,08) fueron similares entre ambos grupos. Conclusión: La sigmoidectomía laparoscópica de urgencia realizada por CG presenta similar morbilidad y mortalidad postoperatoria que la realizada por CC. Sin embargo, la participación del especialista se asoció a una mayor frecuencia de anastomosis primarias, menos estomas y una estadía hospitalaria más corta.
