TORSION AND NECROSIS OF THE FAT ATTACHMENT OF THE LARGE INTESTINE WITH TRANSLOCATION OF INTERNAL ORGANS (A CASE FROM PRACTICE)

Abstract

Diseases of the fatty pendants of the colon (torsion, inflammation, necrosis) are rare and account for 0.1–0.3% of acute diseases of the abdominal organs. Transposition of internal organs (situs inversus viscerum) is a rare variant of biologically normal anatomy, occurring no more often than 1 in 10 thousand people. The diagnosis of torsion and necrosis of fatty pendants of the colon is most often established intraoperatively during laparoscopy or laparotomy, the indications for which, as a rule, are other diseases of the abdominal cavity and pelvic organs. This article presents a clinical case of a patient with torsion and necrosis of the fatty pendant of the colon during transposition of internal organs.
