Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of one-stage colectomy versus two-stage colectomy at Conakry University Hospital. Methods: This was a retrospective study conducted at the University Hospital of Conakry from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2019. All patients hospitalized and operated on in the Ignace Deen General Surgery and Donka Visceral Surgery departments for pelvic colon volvulus (PCV) who underwent colectomy during the study period were included. Results: We collected 87 cases of pelvic colon volvulus (PCV). The average age was 45.71 years with extremes of 5 years and 80 years with a male predominance of 82.83% and a sex ratio of 5.18. The morbidity was marked by 2 cases of anastomotic fistulas, 7 cases of parietal suppuration and 1 case of peristomal hemorrhage. 4 cases of death were noted in two-stage colectomy and 2 cases in one-stage colectomy. Conclusion: The occurrence of morbidity and mortality was not related to the type of colectomy. As our study does not allow us to affirm the superiority of one technique over the other, we recommend considering a future dynamic study that would take into account a larger sample.
