Dr. Kishan A V – Specialist in Intestinal Malrotation Treatment, Bengaluru

What is Intestinal Malrotation?

Intestinal malrotation is a congenital condition in which the intestines do not rotate properly during fetal development. This abnormal positioning can lead to twisting of the intestine (volvulus), obstruction, or restricted blood supply. It is often diagnosed in infants and children but may sometimes present later in life with abdominal pain, bloating, or digestive difficulties.

What is Ladd’s Procedure?

Ladd’s Procedure is the standard surgical treatment for intestinal malrotation. It involves untwisting the intestine, dividing abnormal fibrous bands, widening the base of the mesentery, and repositioning the intestines in a safer orientation to prevent future twisting or blockage.

Who Should Opt for Intestinal Malrotation Surgery?

Surgery is recommended for patients experiencing:

• Symptoms of volvulus (severe abdominal pain, vomiting, distension).
• Recurrent episodes of intestinal obstruction.
• Failure to thrive in infants or persistent digestive issues in children.
• Risk of compromised blood supply to the intestines.

Benefits of Ladd’s Procedure

• Prevents life-threatening volvulus and obstruction.
• Restores normal intestinal positioning and function.
• Reduces digestive symptoms and complications.
• Safe and effective for both children and adults.
• Can be performed with minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques.
