AMBOSS supports this UW question.
I would change card to
{{c1::Rigid / flexible sigmoidoscopic detorsion of the volvulus}} followed by {{c1::sigmoid colectomy and primary anastomosis}}
Why not just add it first thing in the extra?
Support and prefer the way you’ve phrased it
Agree - can someone confirm that this info is 100% necessary to answer question(s) correctly?
UW Step 2 QID 18792 (the same question used as source)
Answer is “therapeutic flexible sigmoidoscopy”
#AMBOSS::L50wkg
Answer is “endoscopic detorsion”

Moved to extra and the within 72 hours is from #AMBOSS::L50wkg explanation that I reworded. Upvote this comment and we can push with enough support.
Uworld explanation says “Successful most of the time (~75%-95%), flexible sigmoidoscopy allows elective surgery (eg, to prevent recurrences) to be
performed after full bowel preparation.”
