Characteristics of sigmoid volvulus and outcomes of endoscopic procedures
Background: Sigmoid volvulus (SV) is a benign condition, but it frequently recurs. It causes a mechanical obstruction of the intestine, and endoscopic reduction is usually performed. In this study, we analyzed the clinical characteristics of patients with SV treated at our hospital, as well as the outcomes of endoscopic procedures.
