Abstract
A technique of mesocoloplasty for the prevention of recurrence of sigmoid volvulus is described. The maneuvre is simple, and does not open the gut. It can be performed confidently by junior doctors undergoing surgical training and appears to be an eminently safe technique as a routine procedure in any emergency service.Keywords
