Severity of the disease is based on clinical, laboratory, and radiological investigations and dictates the need for medical or surgical intervention. Recent clinical trials have improved the understanding of the natural history of the disease resulting in new approaches to and better evidence for the management of acute diverticulitis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We searched the Cochrane Library (years 2004\u20132015), MEDLINE (years 2004\u20132015), and EMBASE (years 2004\u20132015) databases.

The management of complicated disease, ranging from a localized abscess to perforation with diffuse peritonitis, has changed towards either percutaneous or minimally invasive approaches in selected cases. The role of laparoscopic lavage without resection in perforated non\u2010fecal diverticulitis is still debated; however, recent evidence from two randomised controlled trials has found a higher re\u2010intervention in this group of patients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>A shift in management has occurred towards conservative management in acute uncomplicated disease.
