The EAES family sends its condolences to the Karl Storz family, upon the passing of Dr Sybill Storz. Our society has received support from Karl Storz for many years already; for instance, with the Karl Storz award at our annual congress. Dr Storz always personally selected the crystal for the award that would be handed out to the winner. We will miss her personal touch but are confident that her legacy will live on.

How should we manage Hinchey Ib–IV diverticulitis in the emergency setting?

This new individual patient data network meta analysis brings together seven randomised trials and 595 patients to compare three strategies: Hartmann resection, primary resection and anastomosis, and laparoscopic peritoneal lavage. Outcomes were prioritised by an international multidisciplinary panel, including patient partners, and the certainty of evidence was assessed using GRADE and CINeMA.

🔍 Key messages from the study

- Primary resection and anastomosis likely leads to a substantially lower stoma rate at one year compared with Hartmann resection.

- There appears to be no important difference in in hospital or 30 day mortality between primary resection and anastomosis and Hartmann resection.

- Laparoscopic peritoneal lavage is associated with a higher in hospital or 30 day mortality compared with both resection strategies, which raises concerns about its role in routine practice.

These findings support more evidence informed decision making when choosing between resection and lavage for complicated diverticulitis in the acute setting.

After two inspiring days, we are proud to look back on a very successful Discovery Robotics Course on the Da Vinci Xi and X surgical systems, jointly organised by EAES in cooperation with Intuitive at the IRCAD training centre.⁠
⁠
Participants rated the course with a Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 100, reflecting exceptionally positive feedback and strong engagement throughout the programme. This confirms the value of structured, practical training in robotic surgery for our surgical community.⁠
⁠
Education and training of surgeons is a core mission of EAES. Together with Intuitive, we are committed to offering high quality opportunities for surgeons to discover, explore and further develop their skills in robotic surgery.⁠
⁠
A sincere thank you to our dedicated faculty and to all participants for their energy, curiosity and commitment to learning. We look forward to welcoming more EAES members to future editions of this course.⁠
