abstract

Diverticulosis from surgical point of view means treatment of complications. Treatment of primarily acute and chronic Diverticulitis without complications should be conservative in the beginning. Primarily or secondarily complicated cases should undergo proper surgical resection. In these cases a step-by-step procedure has to be considered. Suspicion of simultaneous diverticulosis with carcinoma demands operative clarification.
