Background/Aims: Currently, right colonic uncomplicated diverticulitis is typically treated with antibiotic therapy. However, the optimalduration of treatment is unknown. The aim of the present study was to compare the treatment failure rates between 1- and 4-day antibiotic treatment protocols.Materials and Methods: A prospective randomized study in adults presenting with uncomplicated diverticulitis at the first episode fromJuly 2011 to June 2014 was performed. Patients were randomized to receive intravenous antibiotics for 1 day (1-day group) or intravenous and oral antibiotics for 4 days (4-day group). All patients received cefmetazole and metronidazole. Treatment failure was definedas readmission within 30 days and disease recurrence during the follow-up period.Results: Overall, 87 and 89 patients were randomized to the 1-day and 4-day groups, respectively. All patients were successfully treatedinitially. The hospital length of stay was shorter in the 1-day group than in the 4-day group (3.1 vs. 3.8 days, respectively; p<0.001). After discharge, there were no significant differences between the groups in treatment failure (15/87, 17.2% vs. 19/89, 21.3%; p=0.493).In each group, there were readmission within 30 days (9.2% vs. 12.4%; p=0.502) and recurrence over a median follow-up period of 32months (10.3% vs. 9.0%; p=0.762). In 34 patients who experienced treatment failure, 6 required surgery.Conclusion: Single-day antibiotic treatment is as effective as 4-day therapy for the prevention of readmission and recurrence in patients with right colonic uncomplicated diverticulitis.
