  • Title: Volvulus of the right colon. A review of 30 cases with special reference to late results of various surgical procedures.
    Author: Halvorsen JF, Semb BH.
    Journal: Acta Chir Scand; 1975; 141(8):804-9. PubMed ID: 1217447.
    Abstract:
    A series of 30 patients with volvulus of the right colon is reviewed. The patients were followed up 1-25 years after treatment, and the late results after various surgical procedures were assessed. There were no recurrences after hemicolectomy. Detorsion without caecoplexy showed the same late result as that found in patients treated conservatively. The late result of detorsion with caecopexy was intermediate between those achieved with hemicolectomy and detorsion without caecopexy.
