    Abstract:
    The article presents an experience with the surgical treatment of 27 patients with diverticulosis of the sigmoid colon. It was established that the indications and operation volume should be individualized in correlation with the complication of diverticulosis. In weak patients with critical concomitant diseases good results were obtained after operation of exclusion of the left half of the colon. A modification of the Hartman operation is proposed which reduces the danger of incompetence of the rectum stump sutures and makes the time of treatment shorter.
