| 1 | Prior abdominal surgery as a potential risk factor for colonic diverticulosis or diverticulitis显示文摘BACKGROUND Abnormal colonic pressure profiles have been associated with an increased risk of colonic diverticulosis.A surgical history is a known risk factor for abdominal adhesions and these may lead to increased intraluminal colonic pressure.AIM To assess whether previous abdominal surgery is associated with colonic divertic-ulosis or diverticulitis.METHODS We analyzed data from a study of patients undergoing colonoscopy for different indications from 2020 through 2021.Patients completed a structured question-naire concerning previous abdominal surgeries,dietary and lifestyle exposures including smoking,alcohol use and co-morbidities.RESULTS Three hundred and fifty-nine patients were included in the study.The mean age was 67.6 and 46%were females.Diabetes mellitus,hypertension,ischemic heart disease,chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,chronic renal failure,and body mass index were similar in the diverticulosis and control groups.The overall prevalence of colonic diverticulosis was 25%(91/359)and 48%of the patients had previous abdominal surgery.As expected,the prevalence of diverticulosis increased with age.There was no difference in the rate of previous abdominal surgery between patients with or without diverticulosis(49%vs 47%,P=0.78).In regards to specific surgeries,inguinal hernia repair was significantly associated with diverticulosis(52%vs 20%,P=0.001),but not diverticulitis.In contrast,appendectomy was not associated with diverticulosis(6%vs 14%,P=0.048).CONCLUSION These findings suggest that post-operative abdominal adhesions inducing high colonic intraluminal pressures do not appear to be the mechanism for diverticula formation.Rather,inguinal hernia and diverticulosis may share similar connective tissue pathologies with no causative relationship between them. | Eran Ariam Vered Richter Anton Bermont Yael Sandler Daniel L Cohen Haim Shirin | 2023 | World Journal of Clinical Cases2023，11，35： | 0 |
