Overview
The pathophysiology and treatment of volvulus were established in the 20th century, by William Ladd. However, evidence for cases of volvulus go as far back as 1550 BC in Egypt.
Historical Perspective
- Cases of volvulus have been described as far back as 1550 B.C. in ancient Egypt.[1]
- In 1836, Von Rokitansky described sigmoid volvulus.
- In the 19th century, the pathophysiology of volvulus began with the description of a "suspensary muscle" anchoring the duodenal-jejunal junction in the left upper quadrant by anatomist Václav Treitz.
- The treatment of volvulus was established by paediatric surgeon, William Ladd in the 20th century.[2]
