Description
Mesud Fakirullahoglu and four co-authors present a 2026 study of a rare gut knot that can come back after surgery. In this condition, a loop of small bowel wraps around the lower colon and twists. It is a rare but tangled form of bowel blockage.
The team reviewed their own center's records across nearly sixty years, plus world reports from 1945 to 2026. They treated 81 patients with the knot in that span. The knot itself did not recur in their series, but the colon twist did return in two patients, one early and one late. The paper sets their rates next to the world record.
