Different Clinicopathological Features of Non-Elderly Sigmoid Volvulus Patients

Sigmoid volvulus is frequently seen in male patients over 60 years old. In the sigmoid volvulus <60 age groups, the male/female ratio is close to each other. If sigmoid volvulus develops in <60 age groups, it is more likely to be another underlying organic pathology.

About this study

Sigmoid volvulus is frequently seen in male patients over 60 years old. Here, the investigators aimed to investigate the causes of sigmoid volvulus developing in patients under 60 years of age. Patients diagnosed with sigmoid volvulus between 2009 and 2018 were retrospectively screened. The patients were divided into two as under 60 years old and above. The co-morbidity, mortality, morbidity, complications, age and gender data of the patients were analyzed. In the sigmoid volvulus <60 age groups, the male/female ratio is close to each other. If sigmoid volvulus develops in <60 age groups, it is more likely to be another underlying organic pathology.
