Comparing Resection and Primary Anastomosis versus Hartmann's Stoma on the Mortality and Morbidity of Gangrenous Sigmoid Volvulus: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Ethiopian Journal of Health Sciences, 2023
Background Gangrenous sigmoid volvulus has a significant impact on morbidity and mortality. This study was conducted to compare sigmoid resection and primary anastomosis (RPA) with sigmoid resection and end colostomy (Hartmann's procedure) for gangrenous
