  • Title: The colonoscope in volvulus of the transverse colon.
    Author: Joergensen K, Kronborg O.
    Journal: Dis Colon Rectum; 1980; 23(5):357-8. PubMed ID: 7398512.
    Abstract:
    A case of volvulus of the transverse colon in a patient with dystrophia myotonica is reported in which the volvulus was reduced during colonoscopy. Indications for colonoscopy in patients with volvulus of the transverse colon are discussed, and it is suggested that colonoscopic reduction of volvulus of the transverse colon might have a place as emergency treatment in patients with other severe complications.
