How to treat sigmoid colon torsion

If the patient’s condition is mild, in good general condition, or in frail elderly who cannot tolerate surgical treatment themselves, they can be treated by non-surgical methods, such as enema therapy and electroporation therapy. In addition to fasting to decompress the gastrointestinal tract, the non-surgical procedure requires patients to replenish fluids and maintain electrolyte balance in the body. If the patient’s condition is more serious and accompanied by severe intestinal necrosis, peritonitis, shock and other symptoms, the patient needs to promptly seek medical treatment for surgery. The common clinical surgical methods are sigmoid colon torsional repositioning and sigmoid colectomy, which require targeted treatment according to the patient’s specific condition. Pay attention to post-operative care, the recovery effect is more ideal.
