Abstract


Over the past few decades, diverticulitis has become more common and is a major healthcare burden, especially in Western nations. Every year in the US, acute diverticulitis is linked to around 200,000 hospital admissions and 2.2 billion dollars in medical expenses. Younger persons may also get diverticular disease, despite the fact that the disease's prevalence increases with age. The way that colonic diverticulitis is treated has changed significantly in the last several years. In patients who recover from simple diverticulitis, the choice to do an elective sigmoid colectomy is debatable and requires case-by-case analysis. In situations of complicated diverticulitis, surgery is recommended. In addition to highlighting the importance of the interprofessional team in providing care for afflicted people, this activity describes the epidemiology, presentation, and treatment of diverticulitis.
