Volvulus and Torsion of Various Organs Requiring Emergency Surgery: A Case Series
Abstract
Volvulus and torsion are life‐threatening emergencies requiring prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention. This study presents cases gallbladder torsion, lung torsion, mesenteroaxial gastric volvulus. Each case emphasizes the role of advanced imaging, particularly computed tomography (CT), in identifying these conditions. Despite timely surgical management, outcomes vary depending on the degree of ischemia and the patient's overall condition. Early recognition and intervention are crucial to prevent complications such as necrosis and multiorgan failure. Increased awareness and rapid surgical treatment can significantly improve patient outcomes.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a case series, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.
