                            <p>Ankara Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi I. Şirürji Kliniğinde cerrahi tedavi uygulanmış iki nadir mide volvulusu vakası takdim edilmiştir. Mide volvulusu, midenin sagittal veya koronal eksen boyunca anormal dönmesiyle oluşur; mide pasajında obstrüksiyona neden olabilir ve hayatı tehdit edici duruma dönüşebilir. Vakaların biri 43 yaşında depresif barsak alışkanlıkları olan bir öğretmen, diğeri 65 yaşında kronik epigastrik ağrılı bir çiftçidir. Her ikisi de laparotomi ile ameliyat edilmiştir. Mezenterioaksiyel tip volvulus gözlenmiş ve bağ gevşekliği temel etiyolojik faktör olarak saptanmıştır. Cerrahi müdahale kapsamında modifiye Weir plikasyonu ve diyafragma fiksasyonu uygulanmıştır. Ameliyat sonrası dönem sorunsuz geçmiş, mide pozisyonları radyolojik görüntüleme ile normale dönmüştür.</p></trans-abstract>

Gastric volvulus, defined as abnormal rotation of the stomach along its sagittal or coronal axis, leads to obstructive symptoms and may become life-threatening. The cases involved one 43-year-old man with depressive bowel habits and one 65-year-old man with chronic epigastric pain. Both underwent laparotomy, revealing mesenterioaxial type volvulus with ligament laxity as the etiological basis. Surgical correction included gastropexy via modified Weir plasty and diaphragmatic fixation. Postoperative course was uneventful, with both cases showing positional gastric recovery on radiographs.</p></abstract>
