Total gastrectomy in a case of complicated gastric volvulus: Case report and review of literature

Mesenteroaxial gastric volvulus in a 12 Year female child: A rare case report

“…Difficulty in place a nasogastric tube is also a symptom. Patients could have also sub-acute and chronic symptoms including upper abdominal pain, difficulty of swallowing, bloating, early satiety, heartburn, and passage of black tarry stool [ 1 , 10 ].…”

“…Surgery is the mainstay of management for gastric volvulus and could be open or laparoscopic [ 2 , 11 ]. Volvulus reduction and gastropexy, partial or total gastrectomy in case of persistent ischemia and necrosis [ 10 , 12 ], reintegration of the stomach into the abdominal cavity in cases of intrathoracic migration, and correction of underlying factors are the options of surgical management according to the intraoperative findings [ 2 , 7 ]. The initial management of a patient with gastric volvulus includes hemodynamic stabilization, fluid and electrolyte correction, and decompression with a nasogastric tube [ 1 , 10 ].…”

Two-stage esophagojejunal anastomosis: An alternative reconstruction in emergency gastrectomy for high-risk gastric cancer patients

“…This technique could be useful not only for patients with GC but also for those in need of emergency gastrectomy with gastric necrosis secondary to the ingestion of caustics or gastric volvulus. 14 , 17 – 19 A two-stage strategy not involving the esophagus has been used in the pediatric population. 20 …”

“…This technique could be useful not only for patients with GC but also for those in need of emergency gastrectomy with gastric necrosis secondary to the ingestion of caustics or gastric volvulus. 14,[17][18][19] A two-stage strategy not involving the esophagus has been used in the pediatric population. 20 The novelty of the EJA presented in this work is not because of the way it is performed but because of the time, as it was performed in two stages.…”

Perforated mediastinal gastric volvulus: an uncommon complication of hiatal hernia

“…Gastric volvulus is a rare condition with an unknown incidence. It is defined as an abnormal rotation of the stomach over its axis that can occur acutely or chronically [ 1 ] and is potentially fatal [ 2 ]. Although the main presentation is intra-abdominal, it may appear as an intra-thoracic variation, which requires immediate diagnosis and treatment due to its less exuberant symptomatology and the risk of complications such as perforation and cardiorespiratory compromise [ 3 , 4 ].…”
