Abstract

The treatment of sigmoid volvulus may be either non-operative or operative. Its nonoperative treatment consists of high-pressure enema, rectal tube insertion, sigmoidoscopy and flexible colonoscopy We recently succeeded in non-operative reduction of sigmoid volvulus by flexible colonoscopy in two cases : One was acute and the other reccurent. We conclud that colonofiberscopic reduction is superior to the other non-operative treatment in sureness and safety.
