## TL;DR

This case series highlights emergency surgeries for rare conditions like gallbladder torsion and gastric volvulus, stressing the importance of early diagnosis and imaging.

## Contribution

The paper adds to clinical knowledge by presenting rare cases of volvulus and torsion requiring urgent surgery and emphasizing the role of CT imaging.

## Key findings

- Advanced imaging, especially CT, is critical for diagnosing volvulus and torsion.
- Outcomes depend on ischemia severity and patient condition despite timely surgery.
- Early recognition and intervention improve outcomes and prevent complications like necrosis.

## Abstract

Volvulus and torsion are life‐threatening emergencies requiring prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention. This study presents cases gallbladder torsion, lung torsion, mesenteroaxial gastric volvulus. Each case emphasizes the role of advanced imaging, particularly computed tomography (CT), in identifying these conditions. Despite timely surgical management, outcomes vary depending on the degree of ischemia and the patient's overall condition. Early recognition and intervention are crucial to prevent complications such as necrosis and multiorgan failure. Increased awareness and rapid surgical treatment can significantly improve patient outcomes.
