Abstract:
In preparation for operations of patients with diverticular disease an adequate medical indication has to be performed. The new classification of sigmoid diverticulitis corresponding to the German guidelines for diverticular disease classification (GGDDC) enables an appropriate strategy for evaluating the indications and selection of the time for surgery. New is, that the uncomplicated form of diverticulitis indicates an operation in exceptional case only. Furthermore the frequency of diverticulitis-exacerbation does not influence the indication for surgery any more.
