[The mobile-cecum--a contribution to the independence of this disease and to its surgical treatment].
A mobile caecum can certainly exist perpetually without symptoms. The operation is indicated after a barium enema and upper gastro-intestinal x-ray examination if the symptoms-especially colicky abdominal pain-have been lasting for a long period. Caecum and ascending colon are fixed at the lateral abdominal wall as a "coecocolofixatio lateralis" (Klose 1909). 93.7% of our 35 patients had no postoperative complaints. The operation is not indicated as prophylaxis for volvulus or invagination.
