Complications
- Secondary peritonitis
- Short bowel syndrome (after removal of a large part of the small bowel)
Prognosis
- Diagnosing and treating volvulus quickly generally leads to a good outcome.
- If the bowel is dead (necrotic), the outlook is poor. The situation may be life-threatening, depending on how much of the bowel is dead.
