Surgical Management of Sigmoid Volvulus: A Retrospective Review of Six Cases with a Focus on the Sharon Operation
The Sharon operation is a safe and effective option for recurrent sigmoid volvulus, particularly in older patients or those with significant comorbidities. Considering its shorter operative time and minimal incision, it may be helpful in patients who are unsuitable for standard laparoscopic or open procedures. No recurrence was observed during long-term follow-up, suggesting a potentially curative outcome of the Sharon operation.
