Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
It is postulated that laparoscopic resection has a lower complication and morbidity rate and a higher primary anastomosis (continuity restoration) rate compared to open surgery - both in patients and in comparison to published open resection data. Laparoscopic sigmoid resection (without stoma placement) could thus be recommended as the standard of operative therapy for free perforated diverticulitis.	—
