Case description

The sigmoid colon, where colonic intraluminal pressures are greatest, is most commonly affected. Depending on the location of the affected diverticulum, abscesses may form peritoneally or retroperitoneally. The sigmoid and transverse colon and the anterior surface of the ascending and descending colon are intraperitoneal. The posterior surface of the right and left colon is located retroperitoneally.
