Comments on “Transanal Specimen Extraction After Laparoscopic Sigmoidectomy for Sigmoid Volvulus”
Abstract
Sigmoid volvulus (SV) arises from the twisting of the sigmoid colon around itself and tends to recur.The optimal treatment is an elective sigmoidectomy following endoscopic detorsion.In this field, laparoscopic sigmoid colectomy (LSC) with natural orifice specimen extraction (NOSE) is the most recent approach.In this paper, my comments pertain to LSC with NOSE for SV.
