Myth #7 : Prophylactic surgery prevents future emergency surgery. Mostly false! Diverticulitis is not a progressive disease. Initial presentation is usually the worst. Only 4-5% of uncomplicated diverticulitis episodes have a complicated recurrence. #uncomplicateddiverticulitis

Can a seton cure a fistula? Most setons are placed loosely. If the seton is tightened over time, it can become a “cutting seton” and help cure the fistula without formal surgery. This can take more time and be more uncomfortable each time the seton is tightened.
