title: Novel operative management of primary mesenteric volvulus.
abstract: Mesenteric volvulus is a potentially life-threatening condition. Little information is available for the recommended treatment of viable bowel and virtually no information is available for the suggested elective treatment of a mesenteric volvulus. This communication details a series of enteropexies that were successful in the management of this disorder.
