Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a prospective randomized study aimed to verifying the short and long-term results of inferior mesenteric artery preservation following colorectal resection for diverticular disease

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study wants to demonstrate that the preservation of the inferior mesenteric artery allow to improve postoperative defecatory function and improve patient\'s quality of life.

Inferior mesenteric artery preservation

Performing colorectal resection for diverticular disease the IMA was preserved ligating the sigmoids arteries close to colonic wall.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

IMA preserving

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Performing left hemicolectomy, sigmoidectomy or rectal resection the IMA was preserved ligating the sigmoids arteries close to the colonic wall

Inferior mesenteric ligation

Performing colorectal resection the IMA was sectioned just below the origin of left colic artery.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

IMA sectioning

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Performing left emicolectomy, sigmoidectomy or rectal resection the IMA is sectioned after the origin of left colic artery.
