What is diverticulitis?”][vc_column_text]Diverticula are more common in the colon (or large intestine) and rarer in the small intestine (or \u201csmall intestine\u201d) but not exceptional. A diverticulum is an outgrowth.<\/p>\n

Diverticulitis is the inflammation and infection of a diverticulum (which can cause fever and\/or abdominal pain).<\/p>\n

The diverticula can bleed, clog and become infected (abscess, peritonitis), and perforate and be the cause of more or less serious complications. Under these conditions, your surgeon may need to treat you with fasting, pain medication, antibiotics, sometimes hospitalize you to monitor you or operate on you urgently. It is in particular to avoid having to carry out a surgery with serious consequences for you (by laparotomy or a large scar and with the creation of an artificial anus) that your surgeon can, depending on your history, offer you an intervention in order to avoid that these episodes of diverticular infection do not recur and are potentially more serious and more complicated to manage.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” title=”Role of surgery for small bowel diverticulitis”][vc_column_text]In times of crisis (diverticulitis), depending on your symptoms (pain, fever), the results of your blood tests and imaging exams, your surgeon can offer you several treatments that can sometimes be performed at home and sometimes require medical attention. hospitalization<\/p>\n
