Options in the treatment of totally intrathoracic stomach with volvulus.
Gastric volvulus is a rare life-threatening condition resulting from rotation of the stomach by 180 degrees. We describe two patients with unusual chronic totally intrathoracic gastric volvulus that were treated by different laparoscopic techniques. Preoperatively, upper gastrointestinal contrast studies are diagnostic and, gastroscopy is helpful. Rapid progress in laparoscopy has shifted treat...

There are three types of gastric volvulus: 1) organoaxial (most common type); 2) mesenteroaxial; and 3) a combination of the two....

Gastric volvulus occurs when the stomach rotates about its longitudinal axis (organo-axial volvulus), or about an axis joining the lesser and greater curvatures (mesentero-axial volvulus). Primary gastric volvulus, making up one third of cases, occurs when the stabilizing ligaments are too lax as a result of congenital or acquired causes. Secondary gastric volvulus, making up the remainder of c...
متن کاملTotally Laparoscopic Resection for a Large Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor of Stomach
A debate is currently ongoing about whether a large gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) should be treated by the laparoscopic approach because of the increased risk of tumor rupture during manipulation of the tumor with laparoscopic instruments and the resultant peritoneal tumor dissemination. Herein, we report a case of a large GIST of the stomach which was successfully treated by the laparo...
