What is Sigmoid Volvulus: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment about?

Sigmoid volvulus is the twisting of the sigmoid colon, leading to obstruction and potential bowel gangrene, primarily affecting the elderly. Management includes supportive care, non-operative decompression, and surgical intervention if necessary, with a high recurrence rate. Caecal volvulus, less common but more acute, requires prompt surgical resection, especially in cases of perforation or infarction, with a significant mortality rate.
