Background: The pathogeneses of diverticulosis and diverticulitis remain incompletely understood and the options for prevention remain limited. This study aims to assess whether the correction of defecatory dysfunction through pelvic floor physiotherapy (PFPT) can reduce the risk of readmission with recurrent diverticulitis following an initial episode. Method: This is a retrospective analysis of patients admitted to hospital with acute diverticulitis and who were followed up by a colorectal surgeon for a minimum period of 2 years. Data on the disease course, patient demographics, comorbidities, and PFPT assessments were collected and analysed. Results: The rate of recurrent diverticulitis within 2 years was 20% in the PFPT group compared to 50% in the non-PFPT group (p=0.041). The difference in rates of operative and radiological interventions in those with recurrent diverticulitis was not found to be statistically significant. Conclusion: This study demonstrates a potential benefit of PFPT in the prevention of recurrent diverticulitis. Based on these results of this publication, a randomised control trial is currently in progress to corroborate the findings.
