Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy as a Good Surgical Alternative in Gastric Volvulus Caused by Diaphragmatic Eventration

Ramiro Galvez-Valdovinos

Background: Acute gastric volvulus is a rare but potentially life-threatening cause of upper gastrointestinal obstruction. Therefore, emergency physicians must maintain a high index of suspicion when patients present signs and symptoms suggesting foregut occlusion. Surgical treatment of gastric volvulus, secondary to diaphragmatic eventration, can vary with no standard routines. In this communication, we discuss the value of a laparoscopic gastric sleeve to prevent recurrence.
