ABSTRACT
Volvulus refers to a torsion or twist of an organ on a pedicle. It can involve the stomach, spleen, gallbladder, small bowel, right colon, transverse colon, splenic flexure, or sigmoid colon (1). Volvulus of the large bowel results from the colon’s twisting on its mesentery, producing symptoms either by narrowing of the bowel lumen, strangulation of the blood vessels, or both.
