Objective: To describe current surgical management of acute diverticulitis to optimize clinical practices that maximize positive patient outcomes. Method: A descriptive qualitative research was conducted through bibliographic review analysis, including Spanish scientific articles from the last three years in prestigious scientific databases. Results: A marked preference for laparoscopic techniques over open procedures was identified, especially in mild forms of the disease. The approach includes laparoscopic lavage and omental patch placement. The modified Hinchey classification guides therapeutic decisions, considering severity, patient comorbidities and surgical experience. Conclusions: Contemporary management favors less invasive approaches and personalized treatment according to individual patient characteristics, reflecting more patient-centered medicine based on updated evidence.
