Archivio istituzionale della ricerca dell'Università degli Studi di Palermo
IRIS è il sistema di gestione integrata dei dati della ricerca (persone, pubblicazioni, progetti, attività) adottato dall’Università di Palermo, e ha lo scopo di raccogliere, conservare, documentare, e diffondere ad accesso aperto le informazioni relative alla produzione scientifica degli autori afferenti all’Ateneo.
EnglishDiverticular disease is increasingly prevalent in Western societies and is associated with significant morbidity. OBJECTIVE: Two-stage endoscopic device development for inversion and secured ligation of colonic diverticula; first, human cadaver studies were performed to measure forces required for diverticular inversion; second, a novel set of devices (elastic spiked O-ring with delivery system) was tested in animals. DESIGN: Prospective, observational study of human cadavers and prospective, interventional study of a porcine model. SETTING: University hospital pathology laboratory and animal facility. INTERVENTION: Full-thickness inversion of the colonic wall with a pipelike delivery instrument to produce an inverted pseudodiverticulum that was secured with a spiked O-ring. MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS: The forces required for diverticular inversion, the secured closure of inverted pseudodiverticula, and the time until necrotic tissue falls off. RESULTS: A total of 248 of 248 of cadaveric sigmoid diverticula could be inverted by means of vacuum or forceps. The forces required for inversion ranged from 0.28 to 0.47 N (median, 0.37 N). Twenty-four spiked O-rings were delivered in 6 living pigs to produce 24 inverted pseudodiverticula. One animal died the day after the procedure of a pulmonary thromboembolism. In the remaining 5 pigs, all delivered spiked O-rings remained in place for 7 to 22 days. At necropsy, none of the inverted sites showed signs of perforation but rather full-thickness reparative scarring with ingrowth of connective tissue. LIMITATIONS: Animal model, stiff pipelike delivery instrument, variations in diverticular location, diameter, and size. CONCLUSIONS: Endoluminal inversion and securing of colonic diverticula induces tissue necrosis, diverticular sloughing, and full-thickness scarring.
