Gastric Torsion following Sleeve Gastrectomy: A rare case and surgical management

Abstract

Gastric torsion is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication that can occur following sleeve gastrectomy, characterized by the rotation of the stomach along its axis. This case report presents the clinical presentation, diagnostic approach, surgical management, and postoperative outcomes of a patient who developed gastric torsion after previous sleeve gastrectomy. Early recognition and prompt surgical intervention are crucial in effectively managing this uncommon complication.
