Under observation were 47 patients with colonic diverticula. The clinical classification of diverticulosis of the colon is suggested. The principal method of treatment in patients with uncomplicated forms of the diverticulosis should be conservative. In profuse hemorrhage and intestinal obstruction as well as in perforation of the diverticulum, that would not respond to conservative therapy, surgery is indicated.
