The Noble plication: new indication for a historical procedure

Complications following ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) have been well-described in the literature. While rare, small bowel volvulus following IPAA has been described. We describe the successful use of the modified Noble plication in such a patient with small bowel volvulus about an elongated mesentery. This largely ‘historical’ technique is well-suited to manage small bowel volvulus, especially when non-resectional management is preferred.
