ABSTRACT
A case of chronic gastric volvulus is reported where gastropexy to both the abdominal wall and the diaphragm was achieved by a double row, an inch apart, of interlocking silk sutures. The postoperative course was uneventful and the symptoms were completely relieved. Barium meal 49 months after surgery showed normal shape, size, position and peristalsis of the stomach. Follow-up period is 6.5 years. This form of gastropexy is suitable for all types of primary gastric volvulus
