Abstract

Solitary caecal diverticulitis is a rare benign inflammatory entity and its clinical symptoms are similar to acute appendicitis. There fore it is usually diagnosed intraoperatively. Different treatment options, ranging from the conservative approach to right hemicolectomy are defined however there is no consensus. In this article, the diagnosis and treatment options of solitary cecal diverticulitis was evaluated with three cases.
