The occurrence of descending volvulus after sigmoidectomy is extremely rare. We report a case of a 35-year-old male who presented with abdominal distention, cramping, and no passage of feces or gas for three days. He had a history of recurrent sigmoid volvulus, previously treated with sigmoidectomy. On this occasion, clinical examination and imaging revealed a distended bowel with air-fluid levels. During exploratory laparotomy, descending colon volvulus, a rare finding, was confirmed. The patient underwent a left hemicolectomy and transverse stoma and recovered well postoperatively. Descending colon volvulus is a rare but serious complication after sigmoidectomy, and early diagnosis is essential. In volvulus-endemic regions, awareness of this condition is critical to prevent delayed diagnosis and complications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjae827","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,6]],"date-time":"2025-01-06T04:27:04Z","timestamp":1736137624000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Metachronous descending colon volvulus after sigmoidectomy: a case report"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"2025","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-0051-3095","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Asratu G","family":"Amare","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery , School of Medicine, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, University of Gondar, Maraki Street, Gondar City, Central Gondar Zone, P.O.
