Peculiarities of surgical treatment of a patient with gastric cancer with partial transposition of internal organs (situs inversus)

Abstract

Transposition of internal organs (situs inversus viscerum) is a rare congenital anomaly with a reverse (mirror) arrangement of internal organs. Due to the rarity of the anomaly, there are rare publications on the surgical treatment of patients with malignant neoplasms of various primary localizations in patients with situs inversus viscerum. A clinical case of surgical treatment of gastric cancer with transposition of internal organs is presented.

Keywords:gastric cancer; distal subtotal resection of the stomach; organ transposition; situs inversus viscerum
