A to Easy

Diverticular disease


Listen Later

Gastro 8: Harry and Dan talk about diverticulosis, diverticulitis and diverticular disease. They also talk about true and false diverticula - including a Meckel's diverticulum of the small bowel. They discuss the epidemiology, clinical presentation, investigations and management of diverticula pathology. Dan also makes an awful star wars reference. This episode was vetted by Miss Alexandra Cope, Consultant General & Colorectal surgeon at Wexham Park Hospital, Berkshire.
