The authors reviewed the main researches devoted to pathophysiological mechanisms and international classification of diverticulitis, analyzed multiple-center retrospective and randomized prospective studies. Modern diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, certain unsolved problems in indications for surgeries and their technique, as well as the role of surgical interventions in prevention of recurrences and severe complications of diverticulitis are demonstrated.
