Intestinal Diverticulitis Surgery

Intestinal diverticulitis surgery is a procedure to treat diverticulitis, a condition where small pouches (diverticula) in the intestine become inflamed or infected. Symptoms may include severe abdominal pain, fever, and changes in bowel habits. If treatments like diet changes or antibiotics fail, surgery might be necessary. The operation typically involves removing the affected section of the intestine. This can help prevent future complications, such as abscesses or perforation. Recovery usually involves a hospital stay and gradual return to a normal diet and activities, guided by a healthcare professional.
