DIVERTICULAR DISEASE OF THE COLON IN THAILAND : “ INCIDENCE AND DISTRIBUTION ”
Abstract
Of a total 1051 barium enemas performed in Bumrungrad Hospital and Pramongkutklao Hospital in 1995-1996,13.5% showed colonic diverticulosis. Right colon was the most common site, 53.52%; while left colon was involved in 14.78% and bilateral involvement was 30.11%. This is different from western countries where the disease is predominantly on the left. Our study also showed that right sided colonic diverticulosis was more common in younger age group and more predominant in men.
