Background: Sigmoid Volvulus (SV) is a common cause of acute bowel obstruction in Malawi. We aimed to  describe the surgical  management of SV and its outcomes at Kamuzu Central Hospital, Lilongwe, Malawi. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed records from January 2019 to December 2019 of all SV patients, aged 18 years and above. Data  extracted included age, sex, admission date, surgery date, bowel viability at time of surgery, procedure done, suspected anastomotic leakage, length of hospital stay and mortality. The data was analyzed using STATA 14.0. Results: There were more males (n= 59, 81.9 %) than females. The median (IQR) age was 50.5 (38-60) years. A viable sigmoid colon was present in 61 (84.7%) patients. The commonest procedures done were sigmoid  resection and primary anastomosis (RPA) (59.7%, n=43) and Hartmann’s procedure (HP) (36.1%, n=26). The median length of hospital stay was 5 days in HP, 7 days in RPA and longest in  mesosigmoidopexy (10 days). Suspected anastomotic leakage occurred in 2(4.7%) patients. The overall mortality was 6.9% with all deaths occurring in RPA patients. Conclusion: Mortality is high in SV patients who undergo RPA. We recommend Hartmann’s procedure in cases where the bowel has  significant oedema or is gangrenous.

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is the most common surgical emergency in the newborn. Up to half of babies with NEC develop advanced disease requiring surgical intervention. Options include peritoneal drainage under local anaesthetic, enterostomy only, resection and enterostomies, and resection with primary anastomosis. Resection with enterostomies is favoured by many paediatric surgeons but management of neonatal enterostomies can be difficult. The outcome of 26 infants undergoing surgery for advanced NEC over a 2-year period is reviewed. Resection and primary anastomosis was possible in 18 infants of whom two (11%) died. Recurrent NEC developed in four (22%) and strictures in three (17%) of these infants. An initial enterostomy was fashioned in eight infants, three following resection of necrotic intestine and five as a proximal diverting stoma in infants with pan-intestinal involvement. Five of these eight infants died (63%), giving an overall mortality of 27%. Primary anastomosis is an effective procedure following resection of grossly involved intestine in infants with NEC. The mortality and morbidity in this series compared well with those reported for staged procedures.
