title: [Treatment methods in colonic diverticulosis].
abstract: The authors had 662 patients with diverticulosis of the colon under observation. Nonoperative treatment for clinically manifested diverticulosis was undertaken in 226 patients. A good effect was produced in 82.2% of them. An operative intervention was conducted on 146 patients. The indication for operation was clinically manifested diverticulosis in the absence of an effect of nonoperative management in 19 (13%) patients and complicated diverticulosis in 62 (41.3%) patients. Various types of reconstructive-restorative operations in many-stage treatment of diverticulosis of the colon were conducted in 64 (43.8%) patients. Postoperative complications were encountered in 29 (19.7%) patients. Ten (6.8%) patients died. The authors conclude that the choice of the volume and method of operation should be guided by the patient's general condition, the character of the developing complications, the spread of the diverticuli along the colon, and the existence or absence of signs of an inflammatory process in the diverticuli.
