Surgical treatment is indicated in complicated diverticulitis cases. Traditionally, the Hartmann procedure is carried out in patients with Hinchey III and IV acute diverticulitis. Currently, individualized surgical procedures are indicated in patients with non-fecal purulent peritonitis with laparoscopic peritoneal lavage as an optional choice.
