Implication

This observational analysis compares complications from robotic colectomy in complicated and uncomplicated diverticulitis, suggesting differing outcome rates.

Key Points

Robotic colectomy achieved a textbook outcome in 48.5% of patients with complicated diverticulitis compared to 62.9% of those with uncomplicated diverticulitis.
Patients with complicated diverticulitis had nearly double the major morbidity rates at 12.5%, while those with uncomplicated diverticulitis reported 5.4%.
Regression analyses indicated that patients with complicated diverticulitis had lower odds of achieving a textbook outcome and higher odds of major morbidity.
Factors influencing the achievement of a textbook outcome were identified separately for both complicated and uncomplicated diverticulitis cohorts.
