[Gallbladder volvulus : report on three cases and review of the literature (author's transl)]. 1981

B Nzengu, and A Golinval, and A Denoel, and D Honore

Gallbladder volvulus is an extremely rare disorder. Three cases have been treated recently in the Surgical Department of the Faculty of Medicine, Liège. The clinical picture is that of an acute abdomen requiring urgent surgery, diagnosis usually being made during the operation. Treatment is fairly simple : cholecystectomy, which no problem of dissection ro of instrumental exploration of the bile duct, the volvulus being normally free from stones. Prognosis for the volvulus and the gallbladder is a function of the general condition and the rapidity of operation, and is currently generally good.
