ENDOSCOPIC GASTROPEXY WITH TRANSABDOMINAL SUTURING FOR GASTRIC VOLVULUS

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Endoscopic gastropexy with transabdominal suturing is a procedure used for the management of gastric volvulus, a rare condition characterized by the twisting or torsion of the stomach. This video demonstrates the technique of endoscopic gastropexy using sutures placed across the abdominal wall, instead of pegs, to prevent recurrence of volvulus. The case presented involves a 50-year-old male with chronic gastric volvulus who was not a suitable candidate for surgery due to underlying comorbidities. The patient initially had one peg placement for gastropexy but later opted for transabdominal suturing. The video showcases the steps involved in the procedure and discusses its potential benefits. Further research is needed to assess the long-term effectiveness of this technique.
