In the 5th century BC, hippocrates laid the foundations for its management. The first observation of this condition was not reported until 1836 by Von Rokitansky, and then in 1859, Melchior described its physiopathological consequences. It was the Norwegian Brusgaard who reported, for the first time, in 1947, the effectiveness of a non-operative treatment. Purpose: Describe morbidity, mortality and the impact of co-morbidity factors on the choice of operative techniques. Patients and Methods: This is a retrospective cross-sectional study performed at the Fousseyni Daou Hospital in Kayes from January 2014 to December 2021. We included all patients operated for sigmoid volvulus without necrosis. The parameters studied were the comorbidity factor, surgical modalities, morbidity and mortality. Results: We collected 31 patients, of whom 29 were men and 2 were women, for a sex ratio of 14.5. The mean age was 55 years with extremes (29 - 78 years). Sigmoidectomy with colorectal anastomosis was performed in 19 cases (61.3%), the average age of these patients was 46.16 years, the comorbidity factor was 1 case (3.2%), the postoperative course was simple in 12 cases (63.1%), the morbidity was 6 cases (26.3%) and mortality 1 case (3.2%). Untwisting with colopexy was performed in 11 cases (35.5%), the average age was 65.91 years, comorbidities were present in 9 cases (82%), the postoperative course was simple in 9 cases (82%), morbidity was 1 case (9%) and mortality 1 case (9%). Hartman colostomy was performed in 1 case (3.2%), the age was 60 years, the morbidity was nil. Overall, the postoperative course was simple in 22 cases (71%), the overall morbidity was 7 cases (22.6%) and mortality 2 cases (6.4%). Conclusion: At the end of our study, we can note that the choice of the operative technique for the volvulus of the sigmoid without necrosis can be influenced by the presence of major comorbidity and the morbi-mortality depends on it.展开更多

It can be discovered routinely or on the occasion of a complication related or not to situs inversus. We report a case of Situs inversus discovered incidentally during surgery for acute intestinal obstruction caused by an iatrogenic uterine perforation.展开更多
