Organoaxial volvulus of the stomach following corrective surgery for gastric outlet obstruction.

Abstract
We report an unusual complication following vagotomy and pyloroplasty for chronic gastric outlet obstruction. Persistence of increased gastric aspirate led to the diagnosis of organoaxial volvulus of the stomach on barium studies. We postulate that laxity of the gastric suspensory ligaments after gastric decompression and postoperative adhesion were responsible for its development.
