Nevertheless, it is very common that a patient who undergoes a routine test such as a CAT scan or colonoscopy is erroneously diagnostically labeled as having uncomplicated diverticular disease. Most postulates are born from consensus, rather than from the large amounts of highly reliable evidence that we would like to see. In fact, they are not even the products of panels of experts.
Sin embargo es muy común que a un paciente a quien se le realice un estudio de rutina, llámese TAC o colonoscopia, y en el que se detecten los divertículos, se rotule en los diagnósticos el nombre de enfermedad diverticular no complicada en forma errónea.
