Abstract/OtherAbstract:
BACKGROUND: Caecal volvulus accounts for 30% of all cases of volvulus of the colon. METHODS: We recorded clinical data and accurate images of volvulus of the cecum. RESULTS: A detorsion with resection and primary anastomosis was performed. We reviewed the management and surgical strategies for cecal volvulus. CONCLUSIONS: Caecal volvulus is an uncommon entity with potentially severe outcomes and requires surgical management.
