Case description

"Sigmoid Resection vs Conservative Treatment After DiverticulitisPrespecified 4-Year Analysis of the LASER Randomized Clinical". The LASER randomized clinical trial compared laparoscopic elective sigmoid resection with conservative treatment (dietary modification, fiber supplements) in 90 patients with recurrent, complicated, or persistent painful diverticulitis over a 4-year follow-up. Outcomes assessed included the Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index (GIQLI) scores, 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) scores, recurrence rates, complications (graded by Clavien-Dindo classification), and patient satisfaction at 48 months.
