Diverticulosis is a common condition and affects one third of patients older than age 45. The treatment of the diverticular disease and of its complications, especially the acute inflammatory ones, is both medical and surgical. It is essential to correlate the two therapeutic means and to set an adequate time for the operation. The present study evaluates in a retrospective manner a number of 231 cases, 49% of which represent complicated forms. Fifty-eight patients underwent a surgical operation, 25 of which needed an emergency intervention. The results of the study show the increase of 1-stage procedures for the complicated forms and recommend laparoscopy as an alternative to open surgery. Recent studies have challenged the prophylactic nature of surgical operations after diverticulitis indicating a need for further evaluation.
