Diverticulosis is a condition that occurs when small pouches, or sacs, form and push outward through weak spots in the wall of your colon. These pouches form mostly in the lower part of your colon, called the sigmoid colon. One pouch is called a diverticulum. Multiple pouches are called diverticula.
Diverticulosis is “the presence of” and diverticulitis is “inflammation and infection of” one or more diverticula (bulges in your colon wall). Diverticulosis is common, doesn't cause symptoms or need treatment. Mild diverticulitis is treated with antibiotics. Surgery is needed if problems develop.
562.11ICD-9 code 562.11 for Diverticulitis of colon (without hemorrhage) is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range -OTHER DISEASES OF INTESTINES AND PERITONEUM (560-569).
The sigmoid colon is an “S” shaped portion of the large intestine that begins in front of the pelvic brim as a continuation of the descending colon and becomes the rectum at the level of the third sacral vertebrae.
Sigmoid colon: The final S-shaped length of the colon, curves inward among the coils of your small intestine, then empties into the rectum.
Diverticula usually develop when naturally weak places in your colon give way under pressure. This causes marble-sized pouches to protrude through the colon wall. Diverticulitis occurs when diverticula tear, resulting in inflammation, and in some cases, infection.
Pulsion diverticula occur most frequently in the sigmoid colon because the lumen of the colon is the narrowest resulting in the generation of the highest pressures.
Diverticular disease grows more common with age. About 10% of people over age 40 will get diverticulosis, and 50% will get it after age 60. It affects nearly everyone over 80. There are two main types of diverticular disease -- diverticulitis and diverticular bleeding.

Its pathogenesis is multifactorial, including colon aging, motor dysfunction, increases in intraluminal pressure, and lack of dietary fibers.
