Abstract

The results of research on the clinical picture, features of manifestation, diagnosis, and treatment of patients with diverticular disease complicated by sigmovesical fistula are presented. The study included 31 patients (19 [61.3%] men, 12 [38.7%] women), aged 32-83 (55.6 ± 7.1) years. Diagnostic program included physical examination, laboratory blood and urine tests, endoscopic, radiological, ultrasound examinations. All patients underwent different interventions according to the severity and extent of the inflammatory process, the involvement of other organs of the abdominal cavity and the extent of diverticular lesions of the colon. Long-term results were assessed in all patients in a period of 5 months to 12 years, with a median follow-up 4.7 years. It is shown that the clinical manifestations of intestinovesical fistula did not match the severity of complications, and were subclinical. Timing for referral the patient to coloproctologist was 5 months after the occurrence of first clinical signs. In any case, conservative treatment has not led to spontaneous colovesical fistula closure. Average size of parafistulous infiltration on the wall of the bladder and perivesical tissue was 6.5 ± 2.4 cm. All the patients underwent different types of colon resection. Postoperative complications did not requiring recurrent surgery were detected in 5 (16.1%) patients. None of these has experienced recurrence complications of diverticular disease. For the optimization the treatment strategy, physicians should follow multidisciplinary approach immediately after revealing the patient with persistent bacteriuria, pneumaturia and fecaluria. The surgery is the method of choice in the treatment of colovesical fistula as a complication of diverticular disease.
