Article Abstract
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.

William Ladd's procedure for malrotation and volvulus: convincing the world.
J Pediatr Surg

For one considered "the father of pediatric surgery," William Ladd (1880-1967) has few eponymous procedures and terms that bear his name. The Ladd procedure is a series of procedures to address malrotation of the intestine and midgut volvulus. Also bearing his name are Ladd's bands, obstructing adhesions that cross the duodenum as they bind the nonrotated cecum high in the right upper quadrant to the retroperitoneum.

Cecal volvulus is a rare cause of acute abdomen, accounting for 1%-3% of intestinal obstructions, and is seldom associated with intestinal nonrotation. Early diagnosis is crucial for improving outcomes, as shown in the case of a 53-year-old male with a 24-hour history of constipation, bloating, colicky pain, and bilious vomiting. He exhibited signs of severe illness, including tachycardia, fever, and abdominal distention, with blood tests showing acute inflammation.
