Colon Diverticulosis

Diverticular disease includes two conditions: diverticulosis and diverticulitis. Both involve saclike protrusions of the mucosal and submucosal walls, typically in the colon. Diverticulosis is the presence of multiple diverticula, which may or may not be symptomatic. Symptomatic diverticulosis presents with indistinct symptoms and, less commonly, with severe symptoms, such as slow bleeding (causing anemia) or rapid bleeding (causing frank hematochezia and even hemodynamic instability). Diverticulitis is acute or chronic inflammation of the diverticula, possibly leading to abscesses and even perforation. Classic diverticulitis includes fever, leukocytosis, and left-sided abdominal pain, with localized tenderness and guarding. Incidence of disease increases with age. CT is the gold standard for diagnosis, which rules out other abdominal pathology and detects any diverticular complications. An outpatient course of oral antibiotics is prescribed for uncomplicated diverticulitis in an immunocompetent patient. Indications for surgery are generalized peritonitis or large abscesses that cannot be drained.

Balloon-assisted enteroscopy (BAE) is an important diagnostic modality for ongoing obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB). However, it is difficult to determine the optimal insertion route. We retrospectively analyzed the records of patients with OGIB contained in a multicenter enteroscopy database of 1108 balloon-assisted enteroscopy (BAE) procedures (875 patients) to find out factors affecting BAE route selection in patients with OGIB. A total of 603 BAE procedures in 512 patients were investigated: there were 392 (65.0%) bidirectional and 211 (35.0%) unidirectional procedures. Overt OGIB was more frequent in the latter group (p = 0.024). Computed tomography (CT) was more frequently performed in the unidirectional group (p < 0.001). Capsule endoscopy and a small bowel barium study were performed more frequently in the bidirectional group (p < 0.001 and p = 0.039, respectively). Multivariate analysis showed that occult OGIB, capsule endoscopy and a small bowel barium study were independently associated with use of the bidirectional approach (p = 0.011, p = 0.013 and p = 0.046, respectively). Conversely, CT was associated with use of the unidirectional approach (p < 0.001). Conclusion: CT can aid the selection of an optimal insertion route in OGIB patients. However, capsule endoscopy and small bowel barium study are unhelpful.
