Sigmoid Volvulus

Sigmoid volvulus is basically a twist of the bowel on its mesenteric axis which creates a large intestine blockage. If not treated on time, this can cause life-threatening complications like bowel ischemia, gangrene, and perforation. Surgery is the precise treatment for sigmoid volvulus. However, the timing of the surgery is decided by the doctors based on sigmoid volvulus radiology reports.

The sigmoid volvulus surgical treatment in India helps in restoring intestinal transit caused by the volvulus through abnormal pathophysiological correction.
