Translated title of the contribution: Treatment of acute purulent diverticulitis is still not clarified

Abstract

Inflammation in colonic diverticula can develop into acute diverticulitis. Treatment varies depending on illness severity. Perforated diverticulitis with faecal peritonitis is treated surgically and Hartmann's procedure is the preferred operation. Peritoneal lavage might be an alternative to resection for purulent peritonitis. However, ongoing randomized trials are awaited to clarify this.
