New Beyond the Guidelines on recurrent diverticulitis
Two gastroenterologists with expertise in acute diverticulitis debated CT scanning for diagnosis, antibiotics for treatment, colonoscopy to screen for underlying malignancy, and elective surgery to prevent recurrent disease.
Two gastroenterologists from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Cleveland Clinic offered differing opinions on diagnosing and managing recurrent diverticulitis.
The discussion was published June 13 by Annals of Internal Medicine as part of the journal's Beyond the Guidelines feature. The article, which includes video components, was based on the Department of Medicine Grand Rounds conference held on Dec. 15, 2022, virtually and at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston.
