Abstract

Small bowel volvulus is characterized by axial rotation of a segment of the small intestine along with the mesentery. A 62-year-old male patient presented to the emergency department with complaints of widespread pain around the umbilicus and lack of gasgaita for 2 days. In the laparotomic exploration performed under emergency conditions, it was observed that the small bowel segments were torsioned by brides from its mesentery. The operation was terminated with bridectomy without small bowel resection. Early surgery is mandatory for gangrenous complications that double the mortality risk in small bowel volvulus. Small bowel volvulus should be kept in mind in all patients presenting with acute abdomen.

Özet

İnce bağırsak volvulusu, ince barsağın bir segmentinin mezenteriyle birlikte aksiyal rotasyonuyla karakterize bir durumudur. Altmış üç yaşında erkek hasta 2 gündür göbek etrafında yaygın ağrı, gaz-gaita çıkışı olmaması şikayetleriyle acil servise başvurdu. Acil şartlarda yapılan laparotomik eksplorasyonda ince bağırsak segmentlerinin mezolarından bridlerle sarılarak torsiyone olduğu izlendi. İnce bağırsak rezeksiyonu yapılmadan bridektomi ile operasyon sonlandırıldı. İnce bağırsak volvulusunda mortalite riskini iki katına çıkaran gangrenöz komplikasyonlar açısından erken cerrahi zorunludur. Akut karın ile başvuran tüm hastalarda mutlaka akla getirilmelidir.
