Let's Talk Diverticulitis
We got the gang together (minus John, who is on mission). Today, we are talking about diverticulitis with super expert Scott Steele. Scott walks Jason, Patrick, and Kevin through the nuances of modern-day management of diverticulitis. We cover laparoscopic lavage, review decision making for surgical resection after drainage, and discuss the evolving role of antibiotics in uncomplicated cases. Surgical techniques, including resection boundaries and the consideration of diverting ostomies in emergent situations, are also reviewed. DOMINATE THE COLON!
