Volvulus and Torsion of Various Organs Requiring Emergency Surgery: A Case Series

Year: 2025

Type: article

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.
