La sigmoïdostomie sur sonde : une bonne alternative à la simoïdopexie pour volvulus non compliqué du côlon sigmoïde

Compared with sigmoidopexy for the treatment of uncomplicated sigmoid volvulus, tube sigmoidostomy leads to lesser morbidity and recurrence rates. Thus, it can be considered as definite effective alternative treatment option for uncomplicated sigmoid volvulus.
