Progress in the treatment of colonic diverticular diseases

Abstract

The incidence of colonic diverticular disease is increasing significantly and is showing a trend of youthfulness. The treatment of colonic diverticulum disease mainly involves drugs, including antibiotics, rifaximin, and mesalazine. In addition, probiotics and dietary fiber are believed to have a positive impact on the treatment of diverticular diseases. When it progresses to acute complicated diverticulitis, surgical treatment becomes a necessary means. Up to now, our country has not formulated standards and guidelines of the diagnosis and treatment for colonic diverticulitis.
