Diaphragmatic eventration and gastric volvulus treated by laparoscopic gastropexy

Benign Disease of the Stomach

“…Wandering spleen, diaphragmatic hernia, and gastric cancer are causes of gastric volvulus. 6 7 8 The present case is uncommon because of the absence of a definite cause for the development of gastric volvulus and the fact that it was treated by laparoscopic gastropexy. Given that the present case was very rare, the editors decided to publish this article even though it describes a benign disease of the stomach that is not associated with gastric malignancy.…”

Chronic gastric and caecal volvulus treated by video‐assisted diaphragm plication

“…Initial presentation was with intermittent epigastric pain, nausea and vomiting. Barium swallow study revealed intermittent positional organoaxial gastric volvulus and he was treated with laparoscopic gastropexy 4 . A year later he presented acutely with small bowel volvulus and at laparotomy was found to have congenital malrotation.…”

“…Barium swallow study revealed intermittent positional organoaxial gastric volvulus and he was treated with laparoscopic gastropexy. 4 A year later he presented acutely with small bowel volvulus and at laparotomy was found to have congenital malrotation. Ladd's bands were divided with good result.…”

Diaphragmatic eventration complicated by gastric volvulus

“…Gastric volvulus secondary to diaphragmatic eventration in adults is rare (Table 1). [2][3][4][5]8 The abnormal elevation of an otherwise intact diaphragm into the thorax results in a wide subdiaphragmatic space predisposing the stomach to abnormal rotation, as the colon rises superior to the gastric body. 6 Management of gastric volvulus associated with eventration requires surgery when symptomatic.…”
