ABSTRACT

Intestinal occlusion is a frequent cause of surgical acute abdomen. Among its multiple causes are the ileosigmoid knot, a rare entity worldwide, which is relatively frequent in some geographic areas such as Asia, Middle East and Africa. The objective of this paper was to present four patients with intestinal occlusion due to ileosigmoid knot in Souro Sanu of Bobo Diulaso hospitals in Burkina Faso and Wa Regional Hospital in Ghana. They were operated on through block resection of gangrenous ileal and sigmoid segments with ascending ileoanastomosis and Hartrman-type colostomy. The patients recovered satisfactorily and three months later, the intestinal transfer was finally reestablished. A literature review on the topic was made.
