| pubmed-article:17180266 | pubmed:abstractText | Gastric volvulus is an uncommon condition that affects mostly older men. It occurs mainly as a result of congenital laxity of the stomach's attachments and might be accompanied by a diaphragmatic hernia. This sometimes causes the stomach to herniate into the thorax, giving rise to respiratory compromise. A patient can have acute or chronic disease. We present our series of 14 patients who were managed with simple laparoscopic suture gastropexy. | lld:pubmed |
