Classification
Colonic diverticulosis
Colonic diverticulosis (ICD9: 562.10 ) is defined as "a pathological condition characterized by the presence of a number of colonic diverticula in the colon. Its pathogenesis is multifactorial, including colon aging, motor dysfunction, increases in intraluminal pressure, and lack of dietary fibers."[1]
Colonic diverticulitis
Colonic diverticulitis (ICD9 562.11 ) is defined as "inflammation of the colonic diverticula, generally with abscess formation and subsequent perforation."[2]
Prognosis
Colonic diverticulosis
Most patients (97%) with uncomplicated disease will continue without complications for at least five years.[3]
Colonic diverticulitis
10 to 30% of patients will have a recurrence within 10 years.[4]
