Reoperation and mortality following elective surgery for chronic and recurrent colonic diverticular disease: A nationwide population-based cohort study
Elective surgery in crDD was safe with careful patient selection. The risk of reoperation due to anastomotic leak was very low. Patients with most hospital contacts had an increased reoperation rate, supporting consideration for elective surgery early in patients with disabling diverticular disease.
