Diverticular Disease

Diverticular Disease is a gastrointestinal disorder characterized by the presence of diverticula—small, bulging pouches that develop in the lining of the digestive system, most commonly in the colon—distinguishing it from other structural gastrointestinal diseases by its specific pathophysiological origin in colonic wall weakness and increased intraluminal pressure.
