NCT ID NCT05942833
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether having surgery soon after a severe diverticulitis attack (within 7-10 days) leads to better quality of life than waiting 6-8 weeks. About 136 patients with complicated or recurrent diverticulitis will be randomly assigned to one of the two timing groups. Researchers will track recovery, complications, and overall well-being using standard questionnaires.

Active substance
sigmoid resection (surgery)
What this could lead to
If early surgery proves better, patients with severe diverticulitis could recover faster and have a better quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with only 136 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Surgery always carries risks like infection or complications.
