While Hartmann\u2019s procedure has traditionally been the standard treatment, growing evidence supports primary anastomosis as a safe and effective alternative. The benefit of adding a diverting ileostomy in this scenario remains uncertain. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical impact of a diverting stoma after emergency left-sided colectomy with primary anastomosis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This was a retrospective multicentre cohort study. All consecutive adult patients undergoing emergency left-sided colectomy with primary anastomosis between 2019 and 2023 were included. Patients were divided into two groups according to the use of a diverting stoma (DS) or no stoma (NS). The primary outcome was 30-day mortality. Secondary outcomes included postoperative morbidity, anastomotic leak, reoperation, readmission, and 1-year stoma-free survival.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 211 patients were included, of whom 75 (35.2%) received a diverting stoma. While baseline demographic characteristics and comorbidities were similar between the two cohorts, patients in the DS group presented with significantly higher rates of generalized peritonitis. Thirty-day mortality did not differ (DS 2.2% vs NS 1.3%,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.656). Anastomotic leak occurred in 4.0% of DS and 8.8% of NS patients (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.192).
