Abstract
Chronic volvulus of the stomach is a relatively rare entity. We presen
t a series of six cases diagnosed over the past 18 months. Three patie
nts underwent surgical treatment by gastropexy alone or with gastrojej
unostomy while the other three were managed conservatively. Symptomati
c relief was equally good in both groups, in the short term.
