Therapy differs based on the location and severity of complication

- Uncomplicated sigmoid volvulus: endoscopic detorsion followed by semi-elective resection
- Complicated sigmoid volvulus: no detorsion attempted; emergent laparotomy with resection
- Cecal volvulus - no detorsion attempted; take to OR for right colectomy

Complications of surgery - wound infection, anastomotic leak, and recurrence.

Without detorsion or resection: ischemia, perforation, and sepsis
