Abstract

The Authors report the experience acquired in the management of small bowel diverticula at the Emergency Surgical Department of the University of Bari, from 1987 to 1993. After a brief illustration of the few cases observed, the Authors discuss the problems of this rare pathology, which as all types of bowel diverticula, is diagnosed with difficulty. In fact, only in case of complications, with a specific check-up, the lesions may be discovered. Although rarely, emergency surgery may be needed when complications such as bleeding or occlusion occur. Usually the treatment of minor complications (dyspepsia, gripes, steatorrhoea, constipation and diarrhoea) consists of dietetic indications and symptomatic drugs.
