Abstract

Acute gastric volvulus is an abnormal rotation of the stomach through 1800. This study illustrates a series of 8 patients who underwent operative treatment for acute gastric volvulus. Volvulus was primary in all the cases. Of the 8 patients, 6 had organo-axial (75%) and 2 mesenterio-axial (25%) volvulus. Anterior gastropexy (gastrostomy) was performed in all the cases. There was no mortality and all the patients are doing well after one-year follow up.
