Abstract
PURPOSE: Colonoscopic detorsion (CD) is the first treatment option for uncomplicated sigmoid volvulus (SV). We aim to examine the factors affecting the failure of CD. METHODS: The files of patients, treated after diagnosis of SV between January 2015 and September 2020, were retrospectively reviewed. Patients' demographic data, comorbidities, endoscopy reports, and surgical and other treatments were recorded. Patients were divided into two groups, as the successful CD group and unsuccessful CD group. The data were compared between the groups, and multivariate analysis of statistically significant variables was performed. RESULTS: There were 21 patients in the unsuccessful CD group and 52 patients in the successful CD group. The unsuccessful CD rate was found to be 28.76%; this is likely a function of more neuropsychiatric disease, more accompanying sigmoid diverticulum, previous abdominal surgery, abdominal tenderness, onset of symptoms for more than 48 h, higher mean intra-abdominal pressure (IAP), IAP over 15 mmHg, larger mean diameter of the cecum, the cecum diameter over 10 cm, and higher mean C-reactive protein (CRP) values as statistically significant. In the multivariate analysis, previous abdominal surgery and cecum diameter over 10 cm were seen as predictive factors for failure of CD (p=0.049, OR=0.103, and p = 0.028, OR=10.540, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: CD failure rate was significantly associated with previous abdominal surgery and a cecum diameter over 10 cm. We found that patients with these factors will tend to need more emergency surgery.
