The currently accepted surgical procedures for sigmoid volvulus include resection with primary anastomosis or resection and Hartman procedure. Primary anastomosis is performed if the divided bowel ends are viable, peritoneal contamination is not evident, and the patient is hemodynamically stable. The other methods are Paul-Mikulicz procedure, sigmoidopexy, mesosigmoidoplasty, extraperitonealization of sigmoid colon, mesenteropexy, laparoscopic fixation and percutaneous endoscopic colopexy usingcolonscopy.
