Core Tip	Diverticular disease has a globally increasing incidence. Most of the current studies on diverticulitis refer to left colonic diverticulitis. However, right-sided colon diverticulitis (RCD) and left-sided colon diverticulitis (LCD) manifest distinct features. This retrospective study consisted of 253 patients with complicated diverticulitis and compared the characteristics and treatment approaches of RCD and LCD. Age, Charlson comorbidity index, prior complication, Hinchey stage, number of episodes, and the mean length of hospital stay were significantly different between RCD and LCD. The presence of an accompanying lesion during elective colonoscopy was statistically significant among LCD. Although conservative treatment was adequate in most RCD, there is still no standard treatment management in LCD, since the course of the disease differs among individuals.
