This study focused on the quality of life in patients who were treated in the past for complicated diverticulitis. We compared the effectiveness of conservative and surgical therapy. Between January 2000 and December 2005, 123 patients were treated for complicated diverticulitis in our ward. Five to ten years later these patients filled in the Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index questionnaire. The results were evaluated with the Mann Whitney U test and Pearson chi square test. Result: We compared conservatively treated patients (49) with patients after sigma resection (27). On average, 7 years after the stay in hospital there were practically no differences in quality of life - 107 in the conservatively treated group versus 109 in the operated group. We counted the number of readmissions, which were higher in the conservatively treated group (34% vs 19%), but not statistically significant (p = 0.7). Notable adverse effects of resections were incisional hernias that were a reason for another surgery in 30% of cases. The kind of treatment does not appear to influence the long term quality of life in patients with diverticulitis. We can conclude that long term quality of life should not be a reason for surgery.
