Cirugía sin incisiones como tratamiento miniinvasivo del vólvulo sigmoideo a través del sitio de la colostomía. Reporte de caso

Abstract

Sigmoid volvulus is the most frequent form of presentation of the colonic volvulus, producing an acute obstructive abdomen, mainly in elderly patients. Computed tomography is considered the “gold standard” for diagnosis. Treatment depends on several factors, including the general condition of the patient and the experience of the surgeon. The aim is to present a mini-invasive and scarless way to solve sigmoid volvulus in an elderly patient.
