Laparoscopic surgery for right colon cancer with intestinal malrotation: A case report and review of the literature
We present the case of a 72-year-old female diagnosed with carcinoma of the ascending colon, with IM incidentally detected on pre-operative cross-sectional imaging. She underwent laparoscopic right hemicolectomy. We also reviewed the documented cases of successful laparoscopic surgery for right colon cancers with IM. Aided by accurate delineation of vascular anatomy on pre-operative cross-sectional imaging, laparoscopic colectomy in the setting of IM is safe and feasible, and should be favourably considered.
