Overview
In the 1700s, Alexis Littre was the first to describe diverticular diseases, where he reported "diverticular hernia" without explaining it. It was not until 1849 that Jean Cruveilheir, a French anatomist, was the first to describe in detail the diverticular herniations through the muscular wall of the colon. In 1907, the surgical management of dirverticulosis was first reported by William James Mayo, an American physician and surgeon.
