Laparoscopic Assisted Percutaneous Anterior Gastropexy for the Management of Acute and Chronic Gastric Volvulus in Infants.

Acute and chronic gastric volvulus (ACGV) is a rare event in infants and children. Its prompt treatment is needed to avoid gastric ischemia and perforation. A laparotomy or a laparoscopic/endoscopic reduction with or without the gastrostomy formation has been described to treat this condition.
