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

##article.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.
