I was saturated studying surgery , i had my finals for surgery today and in the morning I actually came to see a video for intussception in the recommended section FORTUNATELY i found this video and i thought “ok why not” I followed it up in my book. My main Essay question for today’s Surgery Final University exams came as “Sigmoid Volvulus” and i FREAKING WROTE EVERYTHING!!!! I could literally hear you sayin “TOM TIP REMEMBER WE SEE A COFFEE BEAN SIGN..” and top to bottom everything from this video was there in my paper ! Thank you so much , no one was expecting this question in our finals this yr and you helped me out !!♥️
Literally in the er typing this and yup. Pain comes and goes i thought it was an ulcer due to taking 800mg ibuprofen for my shoulder pain. Nope. My intestine was just a pretzel lol and the pain is absolutely unbearable
Speaking as a patient, one morning many years ago I woke up with severe pain in my abdomen. Thinking it was probably gas, I tried at first to just ignore it, but it just kept getting worse and worse. After about half an hour it was so excruciating that I could hardly walk! This was by far THE WORST pain I'd ever felt in my life! I crawled to my car and decided to drive myself to the emergency room which was only a few minutes away. They quickly did an x-ray and informed me that my intestines and stomach were twisted into a knot and that they had to operate IMMEDIATELY! By this time I was crumbled into a ball on the floor in pain. The pain I felt was the blood supply being choked off, if they waited even a minute longer, then my intestines would have atrophied from a lack of blood. The next thing I knew, I woke up in a hospital bed the next morning with a long scar across my stomach. According to the doctors, it's something that just happens, and when it does, either you get to a hospital right away for emergency surgery or you die.
I had hiatus hernia surgery in April 2022 but it failed , a few months after, my stomach started to twist and become obstructed as half of my stomach was in my chest. Absolutely excruciating! Had more hiatus hernia surgery again in October the same year, in hospital for 3 weeks. In and out of hospital leading up to February 2023 when I almost died from gastric volvulus, had 2 more lots of emergency surgery! Found out in September 2023 that half of my stomach is back in my chest again and that my diaphragm is so weakened and damaged. Surgeon told me that my diaphragm would never stop my stomach from pushing back into my chest, also that my stomach could become twisted and obstructed again, even if they tried to repeat the procedure again, which he told me would now be too risky. I'm now in constant fear of that happening again!
In the hospital still recovering from this surgery. Worst pain ever! Had most of my colon (which was swollen like a puppa fish when they cut me open) cut out and my intestine reconnected.

Thank you very much This video was very informative I had severe abdominal pain and dissension. My Dr. ordered an abdominal C.T. Svan. It was determined that I had a sigmoid volvulus. I had surgery and a bowel resection. Thank God I am fine.
Great video, easy to understand. Currently my wife has been diagnosed with volvulus and after watching your video, I understandit much better. She hasn't had a BM in months and has been in a lot of pain. She has been loosing weight, nauseous, vomiting....etc. She skips meals often because she says the pain after is just too much. She does a lot of enemas trying to get a little relief. The doctor is just giving her a variety of laxatives but nothing helps or works. She says that she doesn't know how much longer she can last and from what I read, her condition is extremely bad. She's been trying to see her doctor for about 2 weeks or so now without any luck. I just wish we could find someone that understands her condition, look at her. I'm really starting to wonder just how much longer I'll have her. Is there anything she can do at home to help while she's waiting to be seen by a doctor?
The poor thing! I would take her to emergency and ask to get all the necessary tests to find out what to do. She may die if she doesn't get the right treatment in time. I will pray for her recovery. God bless you both!
@@daphnefernandez6589@daphnefernandez6589 Actually we have considered that course, taking her to the emergency and they told us all they will do is give her an anema and send her home. We can do that ourselves.
@@yvonnedyer8370they have told us that they can't help her. We are currently trying a new round of drugs, then possibly surgery by a specialist in her area. Her case is extremely high risk.
This happened to me and I’m recovering. I’m 30 days out of ICU fighting like hell to gain weight. Mine ruptured and I’m lucky to be alive. My surgical team removed 6 feet of necrotic intestine. I describe my pain and “adventure” on my channel. It’s just me talking about what I felt and how it happened. It’s about 18 minutes long. If you are curious about this topic, it’s a decent listen.
What causes a reoccurring volvulus that even happeneds when you no longer have a colon? Also having both of these volvulus types at the same time?? Please answer im dealing with a medical mystery in my family
Earlier this year, my brother came home from training one day and complained of stomach pains- it came and go. each time every cycle of pain got closer and worse and worse. By week two he'd be on the floor screaming and crying. By week three his response to pain would be to vomit. It absolutely has scarred me. All I listened two for the next two weeks was vomiting- I hardly ate and never left my room. He could not keep anything down. We had taken him to the hospital twice and every time they said it was just constipation. One day it got really bad and we had to call an ambulance. My grandma picked me up from the house and my brother was transported to the hospital where he got one scan done, they realized it wasn't normal and demanded he was transferred. After being transferred he was taken for tests and soon after taken in for surgery, as been waiting six weeks his bowel could have died if left longer. He made a very quick and steady recovery and was back to training after two weeks! I am very happy he is better but the impact of listening to him vomit all day- not just because I feel bad. Because it haunts me, it makes me feel sick to the point even making gagging noises makes me nauseous. Besides the point. his intestines where switched sides, so his large intestine is on the opposite of where it was and so is the small intestine. Due to untangling it as it was quite severe.
Wow! I Had This Surgery In New Orleans Where I'm From Back in 2010 When the Saints Won The Superbowl 🏆 I Had Twisted Bowel Myself. & have Tubes in My Stomach. "August"
I have kept going to the Drs for over 2 years with a very hard distended stomach it certainly isnt fat as my current reading is 14% Body fat. I have stopped having flatulence and also dont have a complete bowl movement only litle bits . Im convinced its a sigmoid volvulas
I suffered this 10 years ago post anterior back surgery. Ng tube to this day is the worst experience ever. They give IV in ER, you vomit constantly, the NG tube helps, but is super uncomfortable. A week after back surgery I had 8 inches if necrotic bowel removed. Recovery was very rough and long.
Excuse mecan you make video about fluid management correctly in emergency and no n emergency cases??also how to correct electrolyte imbalance??thank you
I had 6 volvulus at first they were in the Colin then they tuck the Colin out they thought it wasn't working then I got volvulus in the small bowl they dedent know why they said it was no good explanation for it now they say I have Crohn's disease
I had a caecal volvulus aged 48 caused by abnormal bowel from birth , I obstruction post surgery and had faecal vomiting which was horrendous, luckily no colostomy and I recovered. Surgeon said 7O% patients die from this .
honestly, all these laxatives mentioned by doctors make the worse and the quiet opposite. So, the only thing I recommend is colon hydrotherapy. I almost died. The doctors not sure why they don't recommend colonic. Laxatves like miralax -- it seems like once you body get used to these laxatives , it does not respond to making you poop. So the colon hydrotherapy is the best solution i found in my case and figuring out a diet .
I just had the surgery for your phobia. The NG tube was by far the worst part, and the fact that you can't sleep for days....but i guess it's worth not dieing :D

Why no more videos for explanation more branches. ?
Very simple and clear explanation so easy for understanding
Hi again, great videos!
I had a question please...
Do you have any medical info on CIPO?
Chronic Intestinal Psuedo Obstruction?
Much appreciated. 👍

Could you please make video and upload notes on pharyngitis, croup, empyema and pleurisy. Thank you
Thanks for the suggestions!
Thank you
That was very helpful
I had this last year. Most painful time of my life. Both before and after getting the knotted part cut out
Can volvulus be a result of a traumatic event such as a radiotherapy blast that got the stomach instead of a spinal tumor?
Thanks for any info.
Wow. I’ve seen this but it got the esophagus. Bad outcome
Beautiful ❤❤ doing Gensurg here in 🇿🇼
How is cecum.obstruction/volvulous detected?
