Case report illustrates management of cecal volvulus in a patient with intestinal nonrotation, suggesting a need for more documented surgical approaches.
One of the extremely uncommon manifestations of malrotation is nonrotation, a condition that arises due to the complete failure of the midgut to rotate 270 degrees. The true prevalence in adults remains obscure due to the scarcity of the condition. A standard surgical approach to management is therefore lacking, and an increasing number of case reports is required to establish evidence-based recommendations. We present the case of a 39-year-old male with acute abdominal pain due to cecal volvulus in the setting of intestinal nonrotation, successfully managed with a robotic-assisted surgical approach.
