Surgical Clinics of North America, 1972
Treatment of diverticulitis has varied considerably over the years, from a conservative approach limited to drainage of abscesses and decompression of obstruction, to direct surgical attack on the disease itself. Recent evidence suggests that diverticular disease of the colon should be treated surgically, according to the type of disease present, when ...

Diseases of the Colon & Rectum, 1974
Diverticulosis affects both sexes about equally, but diverticulitis is more common in females. Twenty-five per cent of patients with diverticulosis will develop diverticulitis; this percentage rises as the follow-up period lengthens. The probability of developing a complication increases with each attack of diverticulitis and when diabetes coexists ...

Postgraduate Medicine, 1962
Many of the serious complications of diverticulitis can be prevented by careful dietary and medical management instituted early in the disease. At least 80 per cent of cases of early diverticulitis can be successfully managed in this way. If surgical intervention is indicated, it is preferable to operate at a time when a one stage resection is feasible.

SURGERY IN COLONIC DIVERTICULITIS
Archives of Surgery, 1953DIVERTICULOSIS of the colon is an irreversible structural change that occurs in approximately 5% of persons beyond middle age. Symptoms are absent or inconsequential unless some degree of inflammation supervenes; this constitutes diverticulitis and occurs in an estimated 10% of diverticulosis cases.1In the great majority of these cases diet and ...

Ultrasound of Colon Diverticulitis
Digestive Diseases, 2012Overall, the diagnosis of diverticulitis is more reliably made by computed tomography (CT) than by ultrasound (US). However, since US is often used as a first modality in acute abdomen, it is important to be aware of the US signs of diverticulitis. Besides, in not too obese patients, US may be superior to CT.

Complications of colonic diverticulitis
Postgraduate Medicine, 1976About half of the patients in whom diverticulitis develops have subsequent attacks. Recurrence increases the likelihood both of complications, such as perforation, abscess, fistula, obstruction, and hemorrhage, and of the necessity for surgical intervention.
