Abstract
A retrospective comparison was made of 47 patients who underwent elective surgical resection for diverticular disease and 106 patients who had sigmoid colectomy or left hemicolectomy for carcinoma over an eight and one-half-year period. There was higher morbidity and mortality in those patients with diverticular disease.
