Summary

Even though Hinchey classification requires operative intervention, yet remains the established and most universally used scoring system for acute diverticulitis. Several other classifications have been described. The American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) developed a severity scale for surgical conditions, including diverticulitis. The same was done by the World Society of Emergency Surgery, that proposed a specific classification mainly based on the CT scan findings. This is a pilot study to compare the AAST and WSES classifications for acute colonic diverticulitis with the traditional Hinchey classification. We hypothesize that all the classifications are equivalent one each other in predicting outcomes
