Stomach contents are removed using a large stomach tube or through a gastrotomy incision. The viability of the stomach is evaluated and non-viable parts are resected. The spleen is repositioned and inspected. Splenectomy is performed if viability is in doubt. The stomach is secured in a normal position by attaching the pyloric antral region to the adjacent right abdominal wall. Gastropexy techniques include tube gastrostomy and circumcostal, belt loop and incision gastropexy. |
