Multicenter Study Comparing Morbidity and Quality of Life Associated in the Treatment by Surgical Resection and the Conservative Treatment, After Favorable Evolution of Purulent Peritonitis That Originates From Diverticulitis Treated by Mini-invasive Surgery

Plain-language summary
Sigmoid diverticular diseases is a pathologie frequent in patients above 60 years old. A person with diverticulosis may have few or no symptoms. When a diverticulum ruptures and infection sets in around the diverticulum the condition is called diverticulitis. An individual suffering from diverticulitis may have abdominal pain, abdominal tenderness, and fever. Bleeding originates from a diverticulum, it is called diverticular bleeding. Frequent hospitalisations as a result of the evolution of purulent peritonitis that originates from diverticulitis treated by mini-invasive surgery results.
Radiological percutaneous drainage and washing of the abdominal cavity during laparoscopic generalized purulent peritonitis of diverticular origin have been identified as therapeutic options by HAS (French health authorities), followed by second stage resection-anastomosis under elective surgery. It has been observed in patients that if only drainage and washing are performed (without resection), then the morbidity (10%) and mortality (1.5%) rates are much lower than usual rates (after resection) respectively 20-40% and 10-30%. Furthermore this reduces the risks of postoperatory complications.
Some studies have shown that the attitude of non-distance resection of the acute episode was associated with a recurrence rate of diverticulitis less than 5% recurrence without gravity. In addition, the morbidity associated with intervention sigmoid resection is around 30%.
The question arises in our daily practice, or not to propose systematic resection of sigmoid diverticulitis after an acute episode of severe purulent peritonitis or abscess types supported initially by minimally invasive.
The primary objective of the study is to determine, after clinical improvement linked to conservative treatment of perforated diverticulitis Hinchey peritonitis stage II and III, if a conservative approach reduces morbidity compared with a cold sigmoid resection attitude as currently recommended.
The secondary objective of the study is to determine if conservative treatment reduces mortality, length of hospital stay compared with cumulative sigmoid diverticular disease and improves quality of life.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
