- Title
Management of Acute Diverticulitis.
- Authors
Shah, Sachin D.; Cifu, Adam S.
- Abstract
The article offers a study on the treatment of acute uncomplicated diverticulitis (AUD) as presented by the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA). The article reports that previous guidelines for treatment included the selective use of antibiotics, the use of colonoscopy to exclude colon tumors, the use of a high-fiber diet, and the use of colon resection, but the AGA finds that evidence to support these guidelines is not of high quality.
