Diverticulitis Treatment at Colorectal Surgery Associates

Diverticulitis is a condition that occurs when small pouches (diverticula) that form in the walls of the colon become inflamed or infected. At Colorectal Surgery Associates, we specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of diverticulitis, offering a variety of treatment options tailored to the severity of the condition.

Diverticulitis can range from mild to severe, and our experienced team of colorectal surgeons works closely with you to determine the most effective treatment plan. This may include antibiotics, dietary changes, or, in more severe cases, surgery.

Treatment Options for Diverticulitis:

  • Antibiotics and Rest: For mild cases, our doctors often recommend a course of antibiotics to treat the infection, along with rest and a temporary liquid diet.
  • Surgical Intervention: If diverticulitis leads to complications such as abscesses, perforation, or significant bleeding, surgery may be necessary. Our surgeons specialize in minimally invasive techniques, including laparoscopic surgery, which reduces recovery time and minimizes scarring.
  • Bowel Resection: In cases of recurrent or complicated diverticulitis, a bowel resection may be performed to remove the affected portion of the colon and restore normal bowel function.

Post-Treatment Care:

Our team provides comprehensive post-treatment care, ensuring proper recovery and advising on lifestyle changes, such as fiber-rich diets, to prevent future flare-ups of diverticulitis. We also monitor for any potential complications with regular follow-up visits.
