Abstract

Life Sciences & Biomedicine Medicine, Research & Experimental Research & Experimental Medicine Science & Technology
Sigmoid volvulus occurring in pregnancy is of rare occurrence with only few cases reported in the literature. In this case, we report two successful endoscopic detorsion procedures of recurrent sigmoid volvulus in a pregnant woman which avoided the need for surgery and allowed a full-term pregnancy.
