Perforated diverticulitis presents a challenging clinical scenario for the surgeon. Development of an abscess in those without an acute abdomen may be amendable to non-operative drainage. Furthermore, early intervention can dramatically alter the hospital course let alone the overall outcome. While relatively safe as a procedure, image-guided drainage does carry risk that needs to be calculated relative to benefit gained. One rare albeit possibly serious risk is pseudoaneurysm formation.
穿孔性憩室炎对外科医生来说是一个具有挑战性的临床情况。在没有急腹症的患者中形成脓肿可能适合非手术引流。此外,早期干预可以显著改变住院病程,更不用说总体结果了。虽然作为一种操作相对安全,但影像引导下的引流确实存在风险,需要相对于所获得的益处进行权衡。一种罕见但可能严重的风险是假性动脉瘤形成。
