Outcomes after CT guided drainage of diverticular abscesses and predictive factors for fistulous communication to the colon - 15/06/21
, Marc Gorvet a , Krystle Lange b, 1 , Nicholas Rettenmaier b, 2 Abstract |
Background |
The purpose of the study is to analyze patient outcomes following CT guided drainage of colonic diverticular abscesses and identify the factors associated with development of fistulous communication to the drain.
Methods |
All patients undergoing CT guided abscess drainage, from 2009 to 2017, were included in this single institutional study. Clinical and demographic variables associated with development of colonic fistula were investigated.
Results |
One–hundred-and-five patients (55% female), mean abscess size and BMI of 6.3 cm and 30.28 kg/m2, respectively, underwent CT guided abscess drainage. Patients with fistula had longer operative times (p = 0.03). On multivariable analysis, females (p = 0.02) and higher BMI (p = 0.01) were protective against, while increasing size (p = 0.01) was predictive of developing fistulous communication to the drain.
Conclusion |
More than half of patients developed colonic fistula after CT guided drainage. Male sex, lower BMI and increasing abscess size were predictive of developing colonic fistula.

• | Male sex, lower BMI, and increasing abscess size predictive of drain-colonic fistula. |
• | Female sex and higher BMI are protective against drain-colonic fistula formation. |
• | Fistulas required longer operative times, yet comparable postoperative outcomes. |
