Abstract
We report a case of mobile cecum syndrome managed successfully by laparoscopic cecopexy. A 14-year-old girl, suffering from intermittent right lower quadrant pain for several years, was admitted to Kishiwada City Hospital. She had extreme right lower quadrant tenderness without rebound tenderness but with normal bowel sounds. At laparoscopy, there was no demonstrable pathology except for the unattached and freely mobile cecum and right colon. The cecum and the ascending colon were sutured to the lateral peritoneum laparoscopically with interrupted absorbable suture. She has been symptom free for three years after the operation. Laparoscopic cecopexy is less invasive than any other operative procedures for mobile cecum syndrome.
