| Core Tip |
The results of this study suggest that patients with CT-proven acute diverticulitis are not at increased risk of colonic adenomas and neoplastic lesions as indicated by comparable endoscopic findings to general populations undergoing screening endoscopy. This suggests that endoscopic evaluation of colon may not be beneficial in cases with CT-proven acute diverticulitis and could be preserved for selected cases only. Our results are consistent with the best available evidence in the literature. However, the best available evidence is derived from a limited number of retrospective studies with moderate quality. High quality prospective studies are required for definite conclusions. |
