Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed the recurrence of sigmoid volvulus in patients, comparing outcomes of those who underwent prophylactic colectomy to those who only had endoscopic detorsion, particularly in frail patients.*
-
- Using a national database from 2016-2019, researchers matched patient demographics and frailty scores, finding that prophylactic colectomy led to lower rates of readmission for colonic volvulus but resulted in higher complications, longer hospital stays, and higher costs.*
-
- The findings suggest that while prophylactic colectomy can reduce readmission rates in frail patients, it comes with increased health risks and expenses, highlighting a complex decision-making process for treatment.*
