The association of colonic diverticulitis with chronic renal failure is well known. In those patients with "adult" autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, colonic diverticulitis is an especially common complication. We present two young patients (one teenager and one mid-twenties) who developed intra-abdominal abscess several years after renal transplantation. Neither patient had autosomal dominant polycystic disease nor a known history of gastrointestinal problems but both proved to have underlying, previously unsuspected colonic diverticular disease with abscess formation.

Background: Diverticulitis has significantly increased in prevalence in recent decades, requiring higher rates of colon resections. While current literature focuses on postoperative complications such as abscesses, wound infections, and anastomotic leaks, many are limited in showing details regarding the significant risk associated with developing renal insufficiency among diverticulitis patients undergoing colectomy.
Methods: We selected patients from the 2022 National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) Colectomy database who underwent colon resection for diverticulitis using International Classification of Disease (ICD10) code K57.

Epiploic appendagitis of the vermiform appendix is a rare cause of right lower abdominal pain that can mimic acute appendicitis and result in unnecessary surgery. Despite this, the condition can be managed with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs alone. Due to the lack of characteristic physical or laboratory findings, accurate diagnosis by imaging is crucial.
