Abstract

 The stomach is normally positioned and fixed by ligamentous attachments to the spleen, liver, and diaphragm. Due to this rapid growth, new complications are sure to be noticed. Once SG has been performed, GV is no longer a valid term to be used when the remaining stomach, twists, folds, or turns, because the attachments have been disrupted and make the sleeve susceptible to this problem. Therefore, we believe that gastric torsion (GT) is a better term after SG or any gastric procedure that detaches the stomach from its natural points of fixation. GT after SG is a rare complication. To our knowledge, there are only 7 cases reported in the literature. Here, we expand on these reports by presenting a patient diagnosed with GT after SG and their subsequent management.

Keywords: Sleeve Gastrectomy Gastric Torsion.
