Abstract
We read the article written by Belhaddad and Souabni1 on sigmoid volvulus (SV) during pregnancy and delivery. We practice in an endemic region for SV, Eastern Anatolia. For this reason, our SV series, which involves 1,051 patients encountered over 56 year-period (from June 1966 to July 2022), is the most extensive single-center SV series in the world. In this way, we would like to share our ideas on SV associated with pregnancy or delivery.
