Abstract
This study aimed to delineate the outcomes associated with the utilization of elective laparoscopic sigmoidectomy in the successful resolution of sigmoid volvulus. A total of 14 patients were diagnosed with sigmoid colon volvulus and among them, four individuals underwent surgical intervention utilizing the elective laparoscopic sigmoidectomy technique. Among the cohort, there were three male patients and one female patient, with respective ages of 54, 44, 61 and 64 years. The diagnosis of volvulus was ascertained through a combined assessment of clinical and radiological findings, which did not reveal any indicators of severity. Subsequent to the diagnosis, the patients underwent detorsion via rectal probe insertion and elective laparoscopic sigmoidectomy was performed during the same hospitalization. The mean duration of the surgical procedures was 105, 95, 88 and 110 min, respectively. The estimated average blood loss amounted to 115.6 cubic centimeters. Notably, one patient presented with postoperative fever. The average duration of postoperative hospitalization was 5.75 days. Importantly, there were no recorded instances of mortality. Our study posits that elective laparoscopic sigmoidectomy presents a compelling and advantageous approach in the surgical management of sigmoid volvulus, yielding successful outcomes devoid of detorsion‐associated complications.
