Laparoscopic antireflux surgery is becoming a standard procedure in pediatric surgery. Anterior gastropexy is often performed in antireflux procedures, as well as in children with recurrent and intermittent volvulus of the stomach. We present a simple and secure technique for anterior laparoscopic-assisted gastropexy.

Anterior Gastropexy for Paraesophageal Hernia Repair: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
JAMA Surg
December 2024

Importance: Paraesophageal hernias can cause severe limitations in quality of life and life-threatening complications. Even though minimally invasive paraesophageal hernia repair (MIS-PEHR) is safe and effective, anatomic recurrence rates remain notoriously high. Retrospective data suggest that suturing the stomach to the anterior abdominal wall after repair-an anterior gastropexy-may reduce recurrence, but this adjunct is currently not the standard of care.

Background: Paraesophageal hernias (PEH), involving abdominal components herniating through the esophageal hiatus, pose serious risks like obstruction and perforation, prompting SAGES to recommend repair upon symptom onset in 2013. Despite surgical advancements, high recurrence rates persist post-PEH repair. Gastropexy, securing the stomach to prevent re-herniation, emerges as a potential solution.

Article Synopsis
- Aerophagia, which involves swallowing excess air and leads to gastrointestinal issues, is often difficult to diagnose and requires early recognition to prevent further complications.
- A case study of a 7-year-old girl revealed that after experiencing vomiting and abdominal dilatation, she was diagnosed with aerophagia complicated by gastric volvulus, detected through advanced imaging and air swallow monitoring.
- The study concludes that using multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH measurement can enhance the diagnosis of aerophagia, highlighting the need for more research on air swallowing patterns to better understand the condition's underlying mechanisms.

Very few cases of coexisting organoaxial gastric and sigmoid volvuli have been reported. In here we describe 1 such case. Our patient, a 92-year-old man, was treated with a flexible sigmoidoscopy with decompression for his sigmoid volvulus.

Article Synopsis
- Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication is a common surgery for severe GERD, but it can lead to rare complications like acute gastric volvulus, which can be serious or fatal.
- A 28-year-old male experienced severe symptoms and imaging revealed gastric volvulus and a left pneumothorax, leading to emergency surgery where part of his stomach was removed.
- The article emphasizes the importance of quick diagnosis and treatment of this rare complication to ensure better patient outcomes, especially as the number of these surgeries increases.
