We read the paper written by Garcia-Calonge et al. presenting a patient with Lewy body dementia and recurrent sigmoid volvulus (SV) treated with emergency surgery due to gangrenous bowel. Our clinic has 1,063-case experience with SV over 56,5-year period between June 1966 and January 2023, which data signifies the largest monocenter SV series over the world. In the light of this experience, our comments relate to neuropsychiatric diseases-SV comorbidity, endoscopic decompression, and recurrence of SV.
