Diverticular disease
View through CrossRef
Diverticular disease prevalence increases with age with up to 70% in octogenarians. Diverticulitis can be uncomplicated or complicated. The Hinchey classification is used to categorize complicated diverticulitis and guides urgent treatment, which may range from antibiotics to laparotomy. Recommended investigations are outlined, as well as conservative treatment. Management of diverticular bleeding may be problematic and guidelines in this area are outlined including urgent colonoscopy, CT angiography, and therapeutic superselective mesenteric angiography.
