Single-incision laparoscopic gastropexy for mesentero-axial gastric volvulus

Background Mesentero-axial gastric volvulus (MAGV) is a rare but critical condition as delay in treatment can lead to lethal situations. Although the report of the surgical treatment with laparoscopic approach for MAGV has recently come to be seen, no standard procedures have been established. We aim to describe our operative technique of single-incision laparoscopic gastropexy (SILG) for MAGV and review the relevant literature to ascertain the most appropriate treatment option in these patients.
