Sigmoid volvulus is one of the commonly encountered surgical emergencies at the Asmara National Referral Hospital, Eritrea; and this study is being conducted with the intention of trying to understand the causative factors behind this fact, and to ultimately propose ways of developing better strategies of treatment. Out of the total number of cases of intestinal obstruction treated during the years 1995-1999, 132 cases of sigmoid volvulus were selected. Clinical history, physical exams, radiographic investigations, and the results and outcomes of conservative as well as surgical treatments were employed as means for diagnosis. According to the study, there is a very significant degree of male preponderance between the ages of 55-75, and higher mortality was observed among patients who have undergone emergency resection and anastomosis as well as Hartmann's procedures.
