Gastropexy is a preventive surgery that involves attaching the stomach to the abdominal wall. Its objective is to significantly reduce the risk of stomach torsion, a serious emergency that can endanger a dog's life in just a few hours. This intervention is mainly recommended for dogs at high risk of gastric dilatation-volvulus. When planned preventively, gastropexy is generally much simpler and safer than when it must be performed during emergency surgery.
