- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of endoscopic examinations after acute diverticulitis, focusing on the rates of colorectal cancer and other malignancies.
- A total of 1,120 patients were analyzed, with low rates of cancer found in those with uncomplicated diverticulitis (0.14%), while higher rates were observed in those with complications (up to 5.4%).
- The results suggest that routine endoscopic investigations have limited value in uncomplicated cases, but should be considered for complicated cases or when suspicious findings arise.
