Intra-abdominal gastric volvulus. An indication for gastropexy through laparoscopy.

Abstract

Intra-abdominal gastric volvulus is a chronic or acute condition that may be cured by conventional surgery through laparotomy. We report a case of subacute intra-abdominal volvulus who benefited from a gastropexy through laparoscopy. We show that this technique is feasible, safe and efficient. Technical details are described to perform the procedure easily and rapidly.
