Abstract:
Treatment of diverticulitis comprises at least two options: conservative or surgical management. There is a recent trend to limit surgical treatment of acute diverticulitis and to favor conservative management.

The presentation does not include a discussion of specific drugs which is given in other sections of this issue.
