Article Synopsis
- - Volvulus of the large bowel occurs when the colon twists on itself, which can cause bowel obstruction and serious issues like tissue death; it's crucial to consider it as a possible diagnosis in patients with previous bowel surgeries showing obstruction symptoms.
- - A case study involves a 55-year-old man who previously had surgery for gangrenous sigmoid volvulus and later presented with abdominal swelling and pain, leading to surgery where it was found his colon had twisted 360 degrees.
- - Although volvulus is a common cause of bowel obstruction, experiencing it again in a different part of the colon is rare; clinicians should keep it in mind as a diagnosis for patients with a history of colon surgery, especially in high-risk areas.
