Abstract
Colonic diverticulosis is one of the most common conditions in industrialized nations. At colonoscopy, passage of the sigmoid can be challenging and complex in patients with diverticulosis, especially when they harbor plenty and large diverticula. Large diverticular openings can mimic the colonic. We demonstrate the colonoscopic passage through a colon with massive diverticulosis. This article is part of an expert video encyclopedia.
