Core Tip	The present study is the first international publication on sigmoid volvulus using a Kaplan-Meier analysis to illustrate the differences in mortality and recurrence after surgical vs conservative treatment. The long-term survival rate was higher for patients who underwent sigmoid resection as treatment than it was for patients who were managed conservatively. The results indicate that more patients should undergo sigmoid resection after emergency sigmoidoscopic decompression.
