A rare case of post-splenectomy gastric volvulus managed by laparoscopic anterior gastropexy

Laparoscopic anterior gastropexy for chronic recurrent gastric volvulus: a case report

INTRODUCTION Gastric volvulus is an uncommon clinical entity, first described by Berti in 1866. It is a rotation of all or part of the stomach through more than 180 degrees . This rotation can occur on the longitudinal (organo-axial) or transverse (mesentero-axial) axis. This condition can lead to a closed-loop obstruction or strangulation. Traditional surgical therapy for gastric volvulus is b...

Small Bowel Herniation Around an Anterior Gastropexy for a Gastric Volvulus: A Case Report

Gastric volvulus can be a medical emergency with life-threatening complications. Early surgical intervention is important to avoid potential ischemic complication that may lead to infarction of the stomach. The condition has been reported in children and in the elderly, but the majority of cases are reported in the fifth decade of life. We present a case of a complication arising from correctiv...

Chronic Gastric Volvulus with Laparoscopic Gastropexy after Endoscopic Reduction: A Case Report

Gastric volvulus is an uncommon clinical entity. There are three types of gastric volvulus; organoaxial, mesenteroaxial and combined type. This condition can lead to a closed-loop obstruction or strangulation. Traditional surgical therapy for gastric volvulus is based on an open approach. Here we report a successful case of a patient with chronic gastric volvulus with a laparoscopic treatment. ...

Endoscopy-assisted percutaneous anterior gastropexy for gastric volvulus: a minimally invasive technique using a special instrument.

A 5-year-old boy, who had had repeated episodes of vomiting, developed sudden onset mild abdominal pain and vomiting. An enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan showed marked distension of the stomach (●" Fig.1) and a barium meal revealed a suspected mesenterioaxial gastric volvulus (●" Fig.2a). No evidence of a hiatal hernia or mucosal ischemic change was observed on esophagogastroduodenoscopy....
