Routine colonoscopy for patients with uncomplicated diverticulitis is not a cost-effective strategy for colorectal cancer screening patients over 50 years.

We suggest continuing routine endoscopic evaluation for patients with uncomplicated diverticulitis under 50 years and all patients admitted with complicated diverticulitis.
