Coffee bean sign is classic diagnostic feature of sigmoid volvulus Emergency surgery for acute sigmoid volvulus is associated with high morbidity and mortality, it can be reserved in case of it is absolutely necessary to perform surgery, example when there is gangrene bowel, perforation of bowel, peritonitis Nonoperative detorsion is advocated as the primary treatment choice in uncomplicated acute sigmoid volvulus. A flexible sigmoidoscopy/ colonoscopy is now the preferred nonoperative procedure. After complete reduction of sigmoid volvulus, once patient is hemodynamically settled, then elective surgery for resection of redundant sigmoid colon can be performed in a stable, elective, well prepared environment with complete bowel preparation
