Diverticula are protrusions that resemble sacs in the colon's wall. Acute or chronic problems are experienced by 4% of diverticula patients. Diverticulosis development has been linked in large part to the western way of life. Colonic diverticular disease has become more common. Obesity, smoking, and inadequate fibre consumption are risk factors for the illness. Most of the time, surgery is not necessary to treat this; however, if the bleeding is significant, angiography and endovascular intervention may be helpful. Ureteral catheters should be considered when a patient has undergone radiation therapy, resurgery, or preoperative imaging reveals an abnormal anatomy. Oral antibiotics can help prevent surgical site infections after an elective colon resection, according to studies. Using nonabsorbable oral antibiotics like erythromycin, neomycin, and metronidazole reduces surgical site infections overall.
