Mini-invasive surgery for sigmoid volvulus.
Sigmoid volvulus is a pathology which can be treated with beneficial effect using the fully laparoscopic or laparoscopic-assisted approach. We describe a technique which, although it does not qualify as a true laparoscopic operation, it also does not require advanced laparoscopic skills or prolonged operating time.
