Compound Volvulus: A Rare Case of Intestinal Obstruction

Résumé fourni par la source

Compound volvulus or ileosigmoid knotting is an uncommon surgical emergency that causes intestinal obstruction. The sigmoid and ileum are mostly involved in this closed-loop intestinal obstruction. It is regarded as a rather uncommon cause of intestinal obstruction. It's important to distinguish between an ileosigmoid knot and a simple sigmoid volvulus since the management of the two is different. CT and MRI are more helpful in the diagnosis than abdominal X-ray findings, which are not pathognomonic. After resuscitation, a patient with ileosigmoid knotting typically needs an emergency laparotomy. Different resectional and non-resectional surgical procedures may be employed depending on the viability of the ileum and sigmoid colon.
