    Notes: Abstract Since November 1995 we have been performing a D3 lymph node dissection in patients undergoing an operation for gastric cancer with a curative intent. The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether this procedure results in an increased postoperative mortality or complication rate in a Western population. Between November 1995 and August 1997 the postoperative courses of 76 patients were retrospectively assessed (45.3 lymph nodes per patient, lymph node ratio: 0.16). The patient outcome was compared with data from a historic control group of patients (n = 383) in whom the newly established D2 dissection was studied in our department. Regarding the demographic, clinical, and tumor-pathologic data, and the choice of resection and reconstructive procedures, the two groups differed only slightly. The postoperative mortality of 1% was lower (vs 6.8%) while the overall complication rate of 34% (vs 32.1%) was identical. In particular, no anastomotic leakage (vs 9.4%) and fewer nonsurgical complications (17.1% vs 27.9%) occurred. The reoperation rate was 1% vs 9.7%. However, in 6% of the patients drainage tubes had to be inserted under computed tomographic guidance. The average hospital stay remained unchanged (21.9 vs 20.7 days). A D3 dissection was shown to be feasible while demonstrating no disadvantages in the patients when compared with the D2 procedure.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract Interval single stage resection with primary anastomosis is the new strategy in management of acute complicated colonic diverticulitis. With increasing tendency localized complications are treated with minimally invasive techniques. Life threatening peritonitis with evidence of free perforation in old, multimorbid, bad conditioned patients should be further an indication for 2-stage resection. Laparoscopic assisted Hartmann reversal can be done with minimally invasive risk in experienced hands.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die möglichst einzeitige, elektive Resektion ist der Trend in der chirurgischen Behandlung der akuten komplizierten Divertikulitis. Lokalisierte Komplikationen werden nach Abklingen der akuten Entzündung zunehmend minimalinvasiv reseziert. Auch bei der vital bedrohlichen Perforationsperitonitis ist eine Tendenz zur primär einzeitigen Resektion erkennbar. Im Stadium der fortgeschrittenen Peritonitis hat bei multimorbiden Patienten in schlechtem Allgemeinzustand die Diskontinuitätsresektion weiterhin ihre Berechtigung. Die Hartmann-Wiederanschlussoperation kann heute risikoarm und zunehmend laparoskopisch assistiert durchgeführt werden.
