    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Acute caecal volvulus requires prompt surgical intervention. For viable bowel, caecopexy with tube caecostomy effectively resolves the condition and prevents recurrence.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Gastroenterology
    • Abdominal Surgery

    Background:

    • Acute caecal volvulus is a rare but serious surgical emergency.
    • Diagnosis is often delayed due to non-specific clinical presentation.
    • Early recognition is crucial for patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze outcomes of acute caecal volvulus cases.
    • To evaluate diagnostic methods for caecal volvulus.
    • To assess the efficacy of surgical interventions for caecal volvulus.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of forty-one acute caecal volvulus cases.
    • Review of clinical presentation and diagnostic imaging (plain abdominal radiography).
    • Evaluation of surgical techniques including caecopexy and tube caecostomy.

    Main Results:

    • Clinical diagnosis alone is infrequent.
    • Plain abdominal radiography suggests diagnosis in nearly 90% of cases.
    • Caecopexy with tube caecostomy proved effective for viable bowel, offering short-term fixation, decompression, and recurrence prevention.

    Conclusions:

    • Prompt surgical intervention is imperative for acute caecal volvulus.
    • Radiographic imaging is a key diagnostic tool.
    • Surgical management involving caecopexy and tube caecostomy is a viable option for viable bowel, mitigating recurrence.
