- Abstract
The article focuses on a rare case of a 13-year-old boy presenting with acute small bowel obstruction due to re-volvulus, requiring a repeat Ladd's procedure for intestinal malrotation within 72 hours of the initial surgery. Topics include the uncommon occurrence of midgut volvulus at this age, the prompt recurrence after the emergent Ladd's procedure, and a brief literature review on modifications to Ladd's procedure and alternative techniques to reduce the risk of recurrence.
