Abstract
There was a minimal increase in the frequency of diverticulitis admissions over time. A rise in percutaneous drainage procedures was associated with a decrease in emergency operative interventions. The proportion of patients undergoing colostomy remained stable, and there does not seem to be a significant increase in the use of one-stage procedures for diverticulitis.
