Core Tip Immunosuppressed (IMS) patients present with more severe episodes of diverticulitis compared to immunocompetent patients and are at increased risk of an emergency operation. However, IMS patients have a vague disease presentation with insidious onset. The postoperative morbidity and mortality following emergency operations for diverticulitis is worse in the IMS patient population, whereas, in the elective setting, the morbidity and mortality is comparable to the general population.
