Surg Clin North Am. 2024 Jun;104(3):529-543. doi: 10.1016/j.suc.2023.12.001. Epub 2023 Dec 22.ABSTRACTDiverticulosis and diverticulitis remain common diagnoses in western countries, and the incidence continues to rise. Diverticulitis accounts for roughly one-third of admissions to acute care hospitals annually, with even more patients being treated as outpatients due to improved understanding of risk stratification and the natural history of disease progression. Thus, having a thorough understanding of the etiology of the disease in conjunction with computed tomography findings and patient presentation can help dictate the appropriate treatment.PMID:38677818 | DOI:10.1016/j.suc.2023.12.001
