NCT01317485

Brief Summary

The first objective (LOLA) of this integrated trial is to determine whether laparoscopic lavage leads to better clinical outcomes compared to sigmoidectomy in patients with perforated diverticulitis with purulent peritonitis in terms of mortality and major morbidity. The second objective (DIVA) is to determine whether sigmoidectomy with anastomosis or sigmoidectomy with end-colostomy is the superior approach in patients with perforated diverticulitis with either purulent or faecal peritonitis in terms of stoma free survival. The study is designed as a multicenter and randomised trial.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Mortality and major morbidity (combined)

    The primary outcome in the lavage vs. resectional intervention comparison (LOLA), will be poor clinical outcome, defined as a combined endpoint consisting of mortality and major morbidity one year after initial surgery. Major morbidity includes any of the following events or conditions: reintervention, wound dehiscence, incisional hernia, abscess needing percutaneous drainage, urosepsis, myocardial infarction, renal failure and respiratory insufficiency.

    One-year

  • Stoma-free survival

    Stoma-free survival one year after initial surgery, is the primary outcome for the comparison of the resectional strategies (DIVA).

    One year

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • Operating time

    - (day 1)

  • Hospital stay

    - (day one until discharge from hospital)

  • Number of days alive and outside the hospital

    One year

  • Incisional hernia

    One year

  • Reinterventions

    One year

  • +2 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Purulent peritonitis

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients with purulent peritonitis are randomised at a 2:1:1 ratio between 1. Laparoscopic lavage and drainage 2. Sigmoidectomy with primary anastomosis 3. Sigmoidectomy with end-colostomy

Procedure: Laparoscopic lavage and drainageProcedure: Sigmoidectomy with primary anastomosisProcedure: Sigmoidectomy with end-colostomy

Fecal peritonitis or overt perforation

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients with fecal peritonitis or an overt perforation are randomised between 1. Sigmoidectomy with primary anastomosis 2. Sigmoidectomy with end-colostomy

Procedure: Sigmoidectomy with primary anastomosisProcedure: Sigmoidectomy with end-colostomy

Interventions

\[CLOSED\] The abdominal cavity is irrigated with six litres of warm saline in all four quadrants. At the end of the procedure a Douglas drain is inserted via the right lateral port. \*\*\*This part of the study was closed in 2013 on advice of the data and safety monitoring board due to safety issues

Purulent peritonitis

\[OPEN\] Sigmoidectomy is done according to the guidelines of the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons. The distal transsection margin has to be on the proximal rectum, the proximal margin is determined by the absence of wall thickening due to diverticulitis. The type of anastomosis is done according to the preference of the operating surgeon. A loop ileostomy can be fashioned in order to ensure faecal deviation to the discretion of the surgeon.

Also known as: Sigmoid resection
Fecal peritonitis or overt perforationPurulent peritonitis

\[OPEN\] This is a two-stage procedure with the intention to close the colostomy in a second stage. During the primary surgery, only the perforated diseased part must be resected. There is no need of having the distal transsection line on the proximal rectum.

Also known as: Hartmann procedure
Fecal peritonitis or overt perforationPurulent peritonitis
