Overview

Case report reports acute gastric volvulus complicated by gastric perforation after laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication, highlighting rare but fatal risks of severe GERD surgery.

Key Points

  • Acute gastric volvulus can emerge as a critical adverse event following laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication, leading directly to transmural gastric perforation.
  • Analysis of clinical presentation in this case report documents gastric perforation arising secondary to acute gastric volvulus after routine antireflux surgery for severe GERD.
  • Highlights the necessity of prompt diagnostic recognition when post-operative complications arise, preventing fatal outcomes linked with laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication.
