Morbidity associated with diverticula of the colon is a common clinical problem, yet practitioners choose a variety of approaches to diagnosis and therapy. The difficulty seems to lie in incorporating the vast amount of emerging scientific research in this field. Authors who not only have considerable clinical experience but are also scientifically active in the field of diverticular disease summarise the traditional and new knowledge about important clinical issues.
