Abstract
Tube-sigmoidostomy provides fixation and decompression of redundant sigmoid colon in the postoperative period while allowing time to recover from massive dilatation and edema caused by prolonged volvulus. 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.
