Comments on ‘Laparoscopic peritoneal flap sigmoidopexy – a video vignette’

“…Third, as a minimally invasive technique, postoperative recovery seems as desired in LPFS, as was presented in the authors' case and other series [1, 3]. However, despite the absence of recurrence in the presented case, Aharoni et al [3] reported a recurrence rate of 27.3% in their relatively large series, which seems higher than expected.…”

“…We read the correspondence by Gosavi et al [1] and watched the video vignette on laparoscopic peritoneal flap sigmoidopexy (LPFS) following endoscopic decompression in a patient with sigmoid volvulus (SV). As a recurrence‐reducing procedure in SV, extraperitonealization of the sigmoid colon by open surgery has been known for many years [2].…”
