title: [Mesocoloplasty of sigmoid volvulus. An alternative to colonic resection].
abstract: Based on 4 operations, the authors stress the value of intestinal preservation in subjects with poor general suffering from volvulus or with signs of sigmoid torsion by means of mesocolonoplasty. The technical simplicity of this operation allows it to be proposed in the course of laparotomies indicated for any other abdominal pathology.
