The medical records of patients with large bowel obstruction who were managed at King Abdullah University Hospital and its affiliated institutes, northern Jordan, over a 6\u2010year period between January 2001 and January 2007 were retrospectively reviewed to identify patients with a confirmed diagnosis of sigmoid volvulus. Sigmoid volvulus was responsible for 9.2% of all cases of large bowel obstruction seen during the study period. There were 32 patients with sigmoid volvulus, 24 (75%) of whom were men. The median age of the patients was 59 years (range 21\u201383 years). Abdominal pain and distention were the main presentations. Colonoscopic detorsion was applied in 25 patients, which was achieved in 17 (68%) of them after the first attempt. Six patients had a gangrenous sigmoid colon, four of which required resection and a Hartmann procedure. Sigmoid resection with primary anastomosis was performed in 28 patients, including 2 with a gangrenous colon. Postoperative complications were observed in five patients, including one patient with viable colon who develop an anastomotic leak. Two patients died, making the mortality rate 6%. Sigmoid volvulus is uncommon in Jordan. Resection of the sigmoid colon with primary anastomosis appears to be the preferred procedure.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00268-007-9353-3","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,1,15]],"date-time":"2008-01-15T01:21:53Z","timestamp":1200360113000},"page":"459-464","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":46,"title":["Sigmoid Volvulus in the Middle East"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"Hussein A.","family":"Heis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, King Abdullah University Hospital, Faculty of Medicine Jordan University of Science and Technology PO Box 3030 22110 Irbid Jordan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kamal E.","family":"Bani\u2010Hani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, King Abdullah University Hospital, Faculty of Medicine Jordan University of Science and Technology PO Box 3030 22110 Irbid Jordan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daher K.","family":"Rabadi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, King Abdullah University Hospital, Faculty of Medicine Jordan University of Science and Technology PO Box 3030 22110 Irbid Jordan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mwaffaq A.","family":"Elheis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, King Abdullah University Hospital, Faculty of Medicine Jordan University of Science and Technology 22110 Irbid Jordan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bayan K.","family":"Bani\u2010Hani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, King Abdullah University Hospital, Faculty of Medicine Jordan University of Science and Technology PO Box 3030 22110 Irbid Jordan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tagleb S.","family":"Mazahreh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, King Abdullah University Hospital, Faculty of Medicine Jordan University of Science and Technology PO Box 3030 22110 Irbid Jordan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ziyad A.","family":"Bataineh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, King Abdullah University Hospital, Faculty of Medicine Jordan University of Science and Technology PO Box 3030 22110 Irbid Jordan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nabeil A.","family":"Al\u2010Zoubi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, King Abdullah University Hospital, Faculty of Medicine Jordan University of Science and Technology PO Box 3030 22110 Irbid Jordan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohammed S.","family":"Obeidallah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, King Abdullah University Hospital, Faculty of Medicine Jordan University of Science and Technology PO Box 3030 22110 Irbid Jordan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,1,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00000658\u2010198507000\u201000014"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/gut.10.10.838"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/004947550203200207"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02048112"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02590927"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02150738"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02560280"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_2","first-page":"127","article-title":"The management of sigmoid volvulus: report of 39 cases","volume":"18","author":"Astini C","year":"1988","journal-title":"Ital J Surg Sci"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_2","unstructured":"KhanAN HowatJ MacdonaldS(2007)Sigmoid volvulus.http:\/\/www.emedicine.com\/radio\/topic636.htm\/.
