Abstract

We performed laparoscopic survey and treatment on a 17-year-old girl who was diagnosed as having complete midgut nonrotation. The Ladd procedure was successfully performed laparoscopically. The patient was discharged 6 days after the operation. Laparoscopic operation is a useful tool for the correct diagnosis and treatment of intestinal malrotation disease in the adult patient.
