    Author: Anderson JR, Lee D, Taylor TV, Ross AH.
    Journal: Br J Surg; 1981 Mar; 68(3):179-81. PubMed ID: 7470821.
    Abstract:
    Volvulus of the transverse colon is rare. Seven cases, 6 acute, are presented. Early diagnosis and prompt surgical management prevented complications. At laparatomy, extended right hemicolectomy or end colostomy and distal mucous fistula are the procedures of choice. Non-resection was associated with recurrence in three cases.
