Abstract
The contents point: Gasric volvulus is a relatively rare condition comprising an abnormal rotation of the stomach. In some case ,it requires surgery. We report a patient with gastric volvulus who was treated by laparoscopic gastropexy and the postoperative course was uneventful.
A 75-year-old man presented with an onset of abdominal pain and vomiting.
A computed tomography scan and the upper gastrointestinal series revealed gastric volvulus. Endoscopic detorsion of the volvulus was performed, but due to the recurrence of the volvulus laparoscopic gastropexy was performed.
The postoperative course was uneventfuland the patient was discharged 4 days postoperatively.
Laparoscopic gastropexy may be considered one of the minimally invasive and effective therapies for gastric volvulus.
