Abstract
A 12-year-old boy presented with large-bowel obstruction due to sigmoid volvulus. Temporary relief was achieved with rectal tube decompression. Elective laparoscopic-assisted sigmoid colectomy was performed. Post-operative recovery was uneventful. The patient remained well with no recurrence after 4 years of follow-up. Laparoscopic-assisted sigmoid colectomy may be the procedure of choice for selected children with sigmoid volvulus.Entities:
