Comments on “Acute Colonic Volvulus in a Mexican Population: A Case Series”

摘要

I read with great interest the article written by Gonzalez-Urquijoet al. [1], who reported 34 patients with acute colonic volvulusand 31 of whom suffered from sigmoid volvulus (SV). Interestingly, the authors reported no ileosigmoid knotting (ISK) case.While both SV and ISK are rare worldwide [2], they are endemicin Eastern Anatolia, my practicing area [3, 4]. In a 53.5-year period between June 1966 and January 2020, our 1,028-case SV series is the largest, while 80-case ISK series is one of the largestpublished single-center series over the world [2]. For this reason,my comments relate to the incidence, diagnosis, and treatment ofSV and ISK.
