Diverticulitis primarily occurs in the large intestine (colon), where diverticula, or small pouches, can form due to increased pressure. While diverticula can also develop in the small intestine, this condition is much less common and is typically referred to as small intestinal diverticulosis. If inflammation occurs in these small intestinal diverticula, it can lead to diverticulitis, but this is rare compared to its occurrence in the colon.
