  • Title: Volvulus of the small intestine.
    Author: Frazee RC, Mucha P, Farnell MB, van Heerden JA.
    Journal: Ann Surg; 1988 Nov; 208(5):565-8. PubMed ID: 3190283.
    Abstract:
    At the Mayo Clinic, six patients with primary volvulus and 51 with secondary volvulus were treated during a 10-year period. Volvulus of the small intestine must be considered when a patient presents with small-bowel obstruction, and early operative intervention should be undertaken to prevent vascular compromise.
