  • Title: Cecal diverticulitis.
    Author: Kovalcik PJ, Sustarsic DL.
    Journal: Am Surg; 1981 Feb; 47(2):72-3. PubMed ID: 7469181.
    Abstract:
    Cecal diverticula may be solitary or an extension of leftsided diverticulosis. They may be true or false. Diverticulitis in the cecal area is usually found at the time of surgery for presumed appendicitis. If the diagnosis is obvious grossly, a simple diverticulectomy may be performed. Most cases in our series were of the "hidden" variety. In these cases, a right hemicolectomy was performed because the lesion could not be distinguished from cecal carcinoma.
