Core Tip	This paper describes our novel approach to single port laparoscopic surgery (SPLS) in patients with sigmoid volvulus (SV). Ever since minimally invasive surgery was pioneered, few reports have mentioned laparoscopic management of SV, and to our knowledge, reports on the management of SV using SPLS are even less common. Minimally invasive surgery is ideally suited for SV patients who, in developed nations, are typically elderly individuals with significant comorbidities. Despite the study limitations, our results provide support for the use of SPLS in SV patients.
