Gastric torsional obstruction symptoms

Introduction (Overview): Gastric twist is also known as gastric inversion. The major and minor curvatures of the stomach lose their normal anatomical position and the rotational malformation of the stomach itself is a rare disease that accounts for about 2 ‰ of gastric surgery. Stomach torsion can be a large stomach bend that flips upward along the longitudinal axis of the stomach (organ axis), or a pyloric region that flips along the horizontal axis of the stomach (omental axis) to the cardia area. The degree can be different, which can cause clinical obstruction and Impaired blood flow. Gastric torsion is uncommon, its acute type develops rapidly, diagnosis is not easy, and treatment is often delayed. If the torsion exceeds 180 °, acute upper abdominal pain and severe vomiting will occur, requiring emergency surgery. And its chronic symptoms are not typical and are not easy to detect in time.
