Is histopathological analysis necessary in patients undergoing sigmoidectomy for diverticular disease? A retrospective study
In our series, the preoperative colonoscopy reliably predicted the result of the histopathological specimen findings in patients undergoing sigmoidectomy for diverticular disease. Only one (0.5%) high-risk patient had an unexpected clinically significant finding. Therefore, routine histopathological examination may not be justified for all patients.
