摘要:
&NA;Cecal volvulus is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction after major abdominal surgery. A case of cecal volvulus occurring in the early postoperative period after left colon resection for malignancy is presented. Clinical evaluation and plain abdominal radiographs suggesting cecal volvulus prompted laparotomy and correction. Delay in diagnosis results in high mortality, and treatment depends largely on the viability of the involved intestine. This report describes the second case of cecal volvulus complicating a left colectomy. It was treated by detorsion and reperitonealization cecopexy.
