Methods To compare the efficacy of short-term therapy (4 days) versus standard therapy (7 days) for uncomplicated sigmoid diverticulitis, a prospective randomized multicenter trial was conducted. Patients were randomized to treatment groups after 4 days. Both patient groups were monitored until discharge and were followed up after 4–6 weeks and 52 weeks. The results were standardized and statistically evaluated.
