A series of seventy-five cases of volvulus of the small intestine are reviewed. There is a 14.2% incidence of this condition among cases of acute intestinal obstruction. It is more common than cecal volvulus but less common than sigmoid volvulus. The patients are usually healthy, poor, adult villagers whose diet is heavy and vegetarian with a high roughage content; they mainly do hard manual work. It is difficult to make a correct preoperative diagnosis. In this series, the percentage of primary volvulus is 73.33% and of secondary is 26.66%. The etiology, incidence, symptomatology and mortality are studied.
回顾了一系列75例小肠扭转病例。在急性肠梗阻病例中，这种情况的发生率为14.2%。它比盲肠扭转更常见，但比乙状结肠扭转少见。患者通常是健康状况不佳、贫穷的成年村民，饮食量大且为素食，膳食纤维含量高；他们主要从事繁重的体力劳动。术前做出正确诊断很困难。在这一系列病例中，原发性扭转的比例为73.33%，继发性扭转的比例为26.66%。对病因、发病率、症状学和死亡率进行了研究。
