[Diverticulitis of the right colon. Description of our experience].
Two cases of diverticultis of the right colon are described which received surgical treatment. These lesions often simulate acute appendicitis and thus represent a intraoperative surprise Differential diagnosis using a neoblastic mass is often impossible. The paper stresses the importance of surgical treatment which in general terms is the same as the treatment of the diverticular mass of the left colon. In cases where it is difficult to decide between a phlogostic and neoblastic pathology, it is advised that a right hemicolectomy should be performed in line with criteria for oncological requirements.
