Core Tip Over the last decade, the relationship between elective and emergency surgery has come into question. With most emergency resections being performed in patients without a prior hospitalization, it has become apparent that diverticulitis recurrences are a poor predictor for future emergency operation at the population level. In addition, the rate of diverticulitis recurrence appears to be small and similar for those who do and do not undergo resection. This evidence suggests a need to rethink the factors that should be considered when deciding on elective colectomy for diverticulitis.
