title: Abnormal colonic cholinergic and nitrergic activities in relation to elastosis in uncomplicated diverticular disease.
abstract: I read with interest the review on the pathogenesis of diverticular disease by Commane et al in World J Gastroenterol 2009; 15(20): 2479-2488. However, I would like to discuss several important errors that the authors made whilst citing information from previously published work on the neuromuscular dysfunction in the disease.
