Conclusion:
The treatment of diverticulitis ranges from conservative management with antibiotics and bowel rest for uncomplicated cases to surgical intervention for chronic or complicated cases. The approach to right colon and cecal diverticulitis often involves conservative surgery, with colectomy being avoided unless necessary. Elective surgery may be considered after recovery from acute episodes, with decisions tailored to individual patient factors. Outpatient management with oral antibiotics has been shown to be effective for certain patients, potentially reducing healthcare costs and improving efficiency.
