The Dragstedt modification of the Stamm tube gastrostomy was used in 29 dogs with gastric volvulus. A total of 17 dogs were monitored for 14 to 40 months after surgery. Volvulus recurred in one dog. All dogs with a presumptive diagnosis of gastric volvulus were treated surgically by gastric derotation and gastrostomy on an emergency basis. Mortality during the first week after surgery was 31%.
