Limited evidence of abnormal intra‐colonic pressure profiles in diverticular disease – a systematic review

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This systematic review of manometry data shows that evidence for abnormal pressure in the sigmoid colon in patients with diverticulosis is weak. Existing studies utilized inconsistent methodology, showed heterogeneous results and are of limited quality. Higher quality studies using modern manometric techniques and standardized reporting methods are needed to clarify the role of colonic pressure in diverticulosis.
