Stomach volvulus. About a case

Abstract

Gastric volvulus, a rare and urgent entity. Defined as gastric rotation on its axis more than 180 degrees, determining stenosis to the passage of gastric content, distension, leading to parietal irrigation compromise. The delay in diagnosis and/or treatment leads to strangulation or gastric perforation. We present a 90-year-old patient with a gastric volvulus, his diagnostic and therapeutic approach with laparoscopic gastropexy with good results.
