A retrospective study on 18 patients with cecal volvulus surgically treated was made. Demographics and clinical data, as well as treatment were determined from clinical reports. The operative procedures employed were cecostomy (56%), cecopexy (22%) and right colectomy (22%). The length of follow up averaged 63 months and there was one recurrence. The Authors suggest that cecostomy should be employed in patients with viable bowel, and resection should be limited to cases with gangrene.
