Clinical profile and treatment outcome of patients with ileo-sigmoid knotting, an experience from Ethiopian setting: a six years review
The accuracy of preoperative diagnosis of ileo-sigmoid knotting in this study is lower. However, ileo-sigmoid knotting had high postoperative morbidity and mortality. This study highlights the need for heightened awareness for preoperative diagnosis and prompt surgical treatment. We recommend a prospective multicentric study to guide on appropriate operative decision making in ISK patients.
