INTRODUCCIóN: Gastric volvulus is characterized by a rotation, in its long or short axis, generating various degrees of obstruction, which can occur acutely or chronically.

CASE: A 45-year-old female. Refers to the performance of laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication 4 years ago. In December 2018, she presented a recurrence of the symptoms associated with reflux, for which a new laparoscopic fundoplication was performed (outside our medical unit) without eventualities or apparent complications. Six months later, he was admitted to our medical unit due to intolerance to the oral route. Thoraco-abdomino-pelvic tomography reports images suggestive of gastric volvulus and mixed hiatal hernia with protrusion of colon, stomach, duodenum, jejunum and mesenteric vessels, with data suggestive of complication or ischemia of these structures. An emergency operating room was requested to perform an exploratory laparotomy. Gastric volvulus, ischemia and gastric necrosis were observed in the cavity, for which a total gastrectomy and restitution of the intestinal transit were carried out by means of an esophagus-jejunum end-to-side Roux-en-Y anastomosis.

DISCUSSION: There is no scientific evidence or algorithms described for the management of this condition, according to the management described in the literature, decision-making by our team surgical procedure matches current recommendations.

CONCLUSION: In accordance with what is described in the literature, we consider it important to carry out a retrospective study that describes the bases for standardizing the management of this complication, and assessing models for conducting prospective multicenter studies that allow the creation of an algorithm and clinical guideline.
