In suspected acute diverticulitis the diagnosis and extent are confirmed with a CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis. Colonoscopy and sigmoidoscopy are avoided in the acute phase (until 2-6 weeks after resolution) because of the risk of perforation; laparoscopic exploration is not a diagnostic first step.
