Although it is clear that there is a significant frequency of recurrent volvulus after cecopexy, there is no evidence from either this series or previous reports that resection is associated with a lower recurrence rate than tube cecostomy. In the absence of data suggesting a clear superiority of colon resection, it appears that tube cecostomy should be the treatment of choice for cases of cecal volvulus that are not complicated by vascular compromise.
