Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Gastroenterology
  • Abdominal Surgery

Background:

  • Ileocecal volvulus is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction.
  • Prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for favorable outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the surgical management of ileocecal volvulus.
  • To establish evidence-based recommendations for operative strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 26 ileocecal volvulus cases over six years.
  • Analysis of operative outcomes and literature review.

Main Results:

  • The study identified 26 cases of ileocecal volvulus across three community hospitals.
  • Surgical outcomes varied based on the chosen management strategy.

Conclusions:

  • Right hemicolectomy is recommended for ileocecal volvulus with gangrene or perforation.
  • Cecopexia with fixation, potentially with intestinal tube decompression, is advised for other cases.
