Volvulus of transverse colon
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 8
Abstract
The term volvulus is derived from the Latin word meaning torsion or twisting. Anatomy of the large intestine is very clear. The colon and its mesentery twist, leading to a closed loop colonic obstruction, a more proximal intestinal obstruction, and an abdominal crisis. Colonic volvulus accounts for less than 5% of all cases of intestinal obstruction. It usually occurs in the sigmoid colon. Transverse colon volvulus (TCV) is probably the rarest form of colonic volvulus, accounting for less than 11% of all cases of colonic volvulus, but with the highest mortality.
