Abstract
Purpose: The usefulness of bowel fixation for intestinal malrotation is unclear. We carried out bowel fixation for intestinal malrotation after the Ladd procedure. We fixed the intestinal tract to be normal anatomically.
Methods: The medical records of 17 patients with intestinal malrotation treated by this procedure between September 2006 and December 2014 were reviewed. We examined the operation time, complication and recurrence.
Results: The operation time was 81 ± 22 min. There were no complications or recurrences.
Conclusions: Our procedure may be considered as one of the options of fixation from the viewpoint of normal anatomical function.
