Gastric volvulus is an abnormal rotation of the stomach by more than 180 degrees around its own axis, causing obstruction and potential ischaemia. It may be acute (surgical emergency with strangulation risk) or chronic (intermittent episodes of pain and vomiting). It is commonly associated with large paraesophageal hernias and diaphragmatic defects.

Risk factors include:
Elderly patients with large hiatal or diaphragmatic hernias, prior splenectomy, or congenitally lax gastric ligaments are at highest risk. Gastric volvulus is rare but life-threatening in its acute form.
Diagnostic evaluation includes:
Pristyn Care manages acute gastric volvulus with emergency laparoscopic detorsion and repair, and elective cases with laparoscopic reduction of hernia, gastropexy, and fundoplication to prevent recurrence.
Procedure involves:
Post-operative care includes:
Potential complications include:
Acute gastric volvulus with strangulation is a surgical emergency requiring immediate laparoscopic or open repair to prevent gastric necrosis. Chronic volvulus can be managed electively but should not be ignored.
Borchardt’s triad is the classic presentation of acute gastric volvulus: severe epigastric pain, unproductive retching, and inability to pass a nasogastric tube. It is pathognomonic of acute gastric volvulus.
Recurrence is uncommon after laparoscopic repair with gastropexy and fundoplication. The recurrence rate is approximately 5-10% at 5 years, usually due to hernia recurrence or gastropexy failure.
A hiatal hernia is the herniation of the stomach into the chest through the oesophageal hiatus. Gastric volvulus is the abnormal rotation of the stomach (which may occur inside or outside a hernia), causing obstruction and potential strangulation.

I recently underwent hernia surgery under Dr. Abhilash Madhavan, and I am extremely satisfied with the treatment. The doctor explained the condition, surgery procedure and recovery plan very clearly, which gave me full confidence before the operation. The surgery went smoothly and my recovery has been excellent. Till the bandage removal, the support and follow-up from the doctor and medical team were very good. I would like to give special appreciation to Mr. Arun from Pristyn Care – Medical Counsellor. He guided me from the very beginning, answered all my queries with patience and made sure I was mentally comfortable before and after the surgery. His continuous support truly made the experience easier. Overall, I am very happy with the outcome of my surgery. My sincere thanks to Dr. Abhilash Madhavan, Mr. Arun from Pristyn Care, and the entire team for their dedication and care. I definitely recommend them for hernia treatment.
