Sigmoid volvulus secondary to undescended testicle: Report of first case in the literatures
Sigmoid volvulus accounts for 20%–50% of colonic obstructions in Eastern countries. This occurs mostly in patients with a lack of mobility and a history of chronic constipation. There are some very known complications of a undescended intra‐abdominal testicle such as cancer, ischemia, and infertilit...

description | Sigmoid volvulus accounts for 20%–50% of colonic obstructions in Eastern countries. This occurs mostly in patients with a lack of mobility and a history of chronic constipation. There are some very known complications of a undescended intra‐abdominal testicle such as cancer, ischemia, and infertility; But the rotation of the colon around the spermatic cord of one UDT is a very rare phenomenon that there is no similar report. A 67‐year‐old man came to the emergency department with a complaint of abdominal pain and obstipation. On examination, patient was febrile (T: 38.5) and had mild general tenderness. According to the appearance of coffee beans in the X‐ray, the diagnosis of sigmoid volvulus was made. In the requested tests, leukocytosis was observed. Rectosigmoidoscopy was unsuccessful. The patient underwent laparotomy. After manual untwisting, a tubular structure at the base of the meso‐sigmoid was noticed. With further exploration, the testis was observed intra‐abdominally. Orchidectomy and sigmoidectomy were performed by Hartmann's method. Sigmoid volvulus is one of the common cases that surgeons frequently encounter. The case scenarios are often the same, and from experience, most cases result from a long meso and an elongated sigmoid secondary to prolonged constipation. Therefore, it is clear that a scrotal examination would not be part of the routine examination of a patient with sigmoid volvulus. In this article, by reporting a very rare etiology for a very common pathology, we tried to point out the importance of head‐to‐toe examination in all patients. |
