About This Trial
In Europe, patients with acute left colon diverticulitis (ALCD) are usually admitted to surgical wards even when only medical treatment is required. The study compares ALCD non-operative management (NOM) between surgical and non-surgical environments regarding clinical outcomes, hospitalization length(LOS), and follow-up.
