Gastric volvulus is an infrequently encountered clinical entity characterized by abnormal rotation of the stomach. Surgical treatment by anterior gastropexy is indicated for acute and chronic gastric volvulus. Recently, laparoscopic surgery has been used in abdominal surgery. We report the case of a patient with chronic gastric volvulus who was treated by laparoscopic gastropexy and evaluated by upper gastrointestinal series and endoscopic appearance of the stomach. The laparoscopic approach is safe and effective for patients and is considered applicable to surgery for other upper gastrointestinal disorders requiring organ fixation.
