Journal Title: Journal of Surgery Research and Practice - Year 2024, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Gastric volvulus, a rare surgical emergency mimics common presentations like acute pancreatitis. Intestinal obstruction and hollow viscous perforation. Clinical Description: A young male without any co-morbidities presenting with acute pain in the abdomen with vomiting for 5 days with stable vitals. Management: Erect abdominal X-ray with diagnostic endoscopy was done on an emergency basis. Laparoscopic repair of the hiatal hernia with anterior gastropexy was performed immediately. Conclusion: Early diagnosis of acute abdominal pain is crucial as misdiagnosis delays proper treatment. Aspiring surgeons should acknowledge that while diagnosing rare disorders may often be challenging, there is a possibility of accuracy in specific cases.
