A s The American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons celebrates its 100th anniversary, it is only fitting that one of the topics chosen for review should be diverticular disease of the colon." Illis disease is often characterized as a 20th-century development, which is not strictly correct, but reinforces the fact that the advances in diagnosis and treatment of this now-common condition have been predominantly in the past century. Although the primary aim of this discussion is to trace the development of surgical treatment of diverticnlosis and its various complications, some background history of the understanding of the disease permits perspective in understanding the current recommendations for treatment and even predicting future trends.
