The process of the sigmoid colon twisting on its mesentery is known as sigmoid volvulus, a diagnosis rarely seen in the pediatric population. Volvulus can lead to blood flow obstruction of the colon and eventually perforation, necrosis, or sepsis. Predisposing factors include chronic constipation, chronic dysmotility, or Hirschsprung disease. This communication demonstrates three patients who presented to a tertiary pediatric care center with a diagnosis of sigmoid volvulus. All three patients underwent immediate endoscopic detorsion and rectal decompression tube placement. Two patients subsequently underwent surgical resection of redundant sigmoid colon. This communication highlights the use of sigmoidoscopy for detorsion of uncomplicated sigmoid volvulus with added support for initial rectal decompression tube placement, contributing to initial patient stabilization and positive patient outcomes.
