Abstract
Perforation of a colonic diverticulum is a common surgical emergency particularly in older people. Surgical treatments result in the best outcomes for patients with good functional and physiological status, but for frailer patients there are minimally invasive and medical alternatives. This article considers the evidence for the different options.
