With this diagnosis,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/colorectal-surgery\"> surgical resection<\/a> of the portion of the colon containing the diverticular stricture should cure the problem.<\/p>\n<p>Diverticular disease is a common condition affecting the colon, in which small bulging pouches develop in the wall of the colon. Prevalence of this condition increases with age, eventually affecting over 65% of people by the time they turn 80 years old. Risk factors include obesity, low fiber diet and physical inactivity. Diverticulitis is the most common complication of diverticular disease, and affects about 10-25 % of people with diverticular disease. Diverticular stenosis can occur in patients with chronic diverticulitis\/inflammation and often requires surgery as the definitive treatment. Untreated, diverticular strictures often cause progressive symptoms of abdominal pain, bloating, a change in bowel habits and can eventually lead to a colon obstruction, which would be a surgical emergency.<\/p>\n<p>Surgery for a diverticular stricture usually involves removal of about 20% of the colon, rarely requires a colostomy, and can often be done with minimally invasive techniques. Most patients will require a 5-7 day hospital stay, and should expect a full recovery within 4-6 weeks. However, even though his surgery is \u201celective\u201d and \u201ccommon\u201d, it is major abdominal surgery, and complications can occur, especially in elderly patients.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/steven-mcclane-md\"><strong>Steven J.
