Abstract
The frequency of diverticula in the left segments of the colon is 90 % according to various sources. These are the so-called false (acquired) diverticula, with 50–65 % of them found in the sigmoid colon, and only 10 % of patients are diagnosed with true (congenital) diverticula in the right segments of the colon. Total involvement by colon diverticula is rare in less than 10 % of patients.
