, , , , , , , , , , ,
Abstract

Diverticular disease is a common condition that mainly affects elderly patients, however, it can also affect the young population. There are various theories for the etiology and all of them lead to the same endpoint and complication. The patient can be asymptomatic and can present as a case of abdominal peritonitis.  Management varies from conservative management to surgical intervention. PubMed database was used for articles selection, and the following keys were used in the mesh ((“diverticular disease "[Mesh]) AND (“diagnosis and treatment”[Mesh]) OR (“diverticular disease diagnosis and treatment Mesh])). In regards to the inclusion criteria, the articles were selected based on the inclusion of one of the following topics: diverticular disease recent diagnosis and treatment. Exclusion criteria were all other articles, which did not have one of these topics as their primary endpoint. Diverticular disease is a very wide topic, many aspects are still unclear and more works are required to improve the outcome of the patient.
