“…Although the gastrostomy is still widely performed for the fixation of the MAGV in some institutions, there are some reports that the stomach may rotate with the gastrostomy as a new axis [18]. Another reports demonstrated that 2-3 sutures in a narrow range of the stomach may also rotate with the sutures as a new axis [19]. However, it has also been demonstrated that the big space between the sutures may allow the intestine to herniate into those space [20].…”

Background Mesentero-axial gastric volvulus (MAGV) is a rare but critical condition as delay in treatment can lead to lethal situations. Although the report of the surgical treatment with laparoscopic approach for MAGV has recently come to be seen, no standard procedures have been established. We aim to describe our operative technique of single-incision laparoscopic gastropexy (SILG) for MAGV and review the relevant literature to ascertain the most appropriate treatment option in these patients. Case presentation Three patients were referred to our hospital because abdominal pain and vomiting suddenly occurred. Acute MAGV was diagnosed by upper gastrointestinal study. After overnight gastric decompression with a nasal tube, the GV was resolved spontaneously. Elective SILG was planned. Single incision at the umbilicus was made and three 5-mm trocars were inserted. The anterior wall of the body of the stomach was sutured to the peritoneum using 6 × 4-0 non-absorbable sutures for prevention of recurrence of GV and occurrence of internal hernia through the space created between the sutures. Two boys and a girl with mean age 4 ± 2 years underwent SILG. The mean time of the operation was 48 ± 23 min. All of the procedures were completed safely, and there were no postoperative complications. The mean time of postoperative hospitalization was 4 ± 1 days. All patients had good cosmetic and clinical results. Conclusion We found SILG is a safe, technically feasible, and minimally invasive approach with low incidence of postoperative complication and the best cosmetic result for the patients with MAGV.
