==Prognosis==
 +
Prognosis depends on the degree of volvulous and the speed of diagnosis and treatment. Torsions of 180-360° have a good prognosis as long as vascular supply is not compromised. More severe torsions and those that are stragulating,or where surgery has been delayed have a poor prognosis.
