Overview

Case report on successful laparoscopic Ladd's procedure resolving abdominal pain in a 67-year-old woman, indicating challenges in adult diagnosis.

Key Points

  • Laparoscopic Ladd's procedure resulted in complete symptom resolution and no complications post-surgery.
  • Diagnostic imaging, including CT and MRI, confirmed the presence of intestinal malrotation in the patient.
  • Ladd's procedure is the standard surgical approach to treat intestinal malrotation, addressing volvulus and abnormal bands.
  • Identifying intestinal malrotation in adults is challenging, often leading to delayed diagnosis and potential complications.
